Re: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] Major changes to the Gnome2 Eclasses

["Rémi Cardona" <remi@gentoo.org>]

Hi again,

I've just come up with a plan for the new eclass based on previous 
feedback. Basically, I want to commit this patch [1] ASAP.

If I commit this right now here's what's going to happen :

  - ebuilds that use the gnome2 eclass and other eclasses that don't 
export pkg_preinst() will be fine. Most Gnome packages are thus fine.

  - ebuilds that have "inherit gnome2 $eclass_foo" [*] will still work 
for now, but won't work once I commit the rest of the eclass changes

  - ebuilds that have "inherit $eclass_foo gnome2" [*] won't work as 
they  used to.

[*] if $eclass_foo has indeed a pkg_preinst somewhere, like the games 
eclass.

Now, basically, if the portage metadata or QA people could tell me a way 
to figure *all* the ebuilds that inherit gnome2 *and* have a 
pkg_preinst() function somewhere (either in the ebuild or in an eclass 
somewhere) I'd really appreciate it, as I really don't want to read 
through thousands of ebuilds to figure it out.

Thanks

Rémi
