I think we also need to know: How many EAPI's do we have now? Where is the detailed definition of those EAPI's? How can we produce a new EAPI? IMO, we can not have more than two EAPI's simultaneously. The only situation in which we can have two EAPI is in the transition period of those two EAPI's. And we should set a time constraint on the transition. Other than that we can only have one working EAPI which all package managers conforms to. Otherwise, I think we may be risking forking the portage tree. -- Zhang Le, Robert GPG key ID: 1E4E2973 Fingerprint: 0260 C902 B8F8 6506 6586 2B90 BC51 C808 1E4E 2973 -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
