I'll bite :) Version numbers aren't metadata because they uniquely identify the ebuild/package. EAPI on the other hand brings no such information to identify the package. Furthermore, the GLEP proposes that no 2 ebuilds with the exact same version may exist regardless of different EAPIs. In the end, ${CATEGORY}/${PF} is like the key in a RDB table. The EAPI is just extra info. I'll just wrap this up by saying that I don't have an opinion on whether putting the EAPI inside the ebuild or outside is better for the complex operations involved in portage. I'll leave that to the more informed devs= :) Cheers, R=E9mi --=20 gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
