[gentoo-dev] EAPI-3 times and dates

[gentoo-dev] EAPI-3 times and dates

[Torsten Veller]

EAPI-3 was approved by the council during their last meeting (2010-01-18).

Which portage versions do support it?
(I wasn't able to find it in the docs.)

When can we stabilize EAPI-3 ebuilds?
(I guess this is again a council decision?)

How long do we have to provide ebuilds for older EAPIs?
(We can drop them as long as users are able to upgrade to an EAPI-3
capable package-manager for at least one year from now/after
stabilisation?)


Is this worth to be documented if it isn't?

I haven't heard of a release that would.

When a Portage version supporting EAPI-3 is stable. Council can
acknowledge at this point.

Normally ebuild developers can just use the latest. As you said the only
thing that matters is the package manager upgrade path and that only
concerns a few packages.

[gentoo-dev] Who is interested by maintaining gnash ?

Hey,
I'm not interested by maintaining www-plugins/gnash anymore, since it's
really boring to keep it working and up-to-date.
For example, few days ago a bug for bump it was opened, just for a
development release (even if it's a beta...) 3 patches o_O. And this is
just a begining...

The funny thing is upstream is not cooperative at all, autotools patches
are not accepted (that's why I don't send them on upstream, I meant with
an attitude like that it's just useless sorry...) . And when you want to
commit suicide per bump it's not normal (mainly because autotools aren't
standard and are so ugly, just unfixable, just for fun ask diego :D)

Probably gnash will be nice and powerful in a very long time (I hope),
but for now... a lot of work has to be done.

I don't know how to ask this favour: I need help ?! SOS ?! or just "go
ahead, I'm glad to give you this ebuild."

Mhhh... what else ? That all !
Have fun with gentoo, and most important : good luck ! :D

Regards,
Romain.

It's supported in portage-2.1.7.17 and 2.2_rc62 which have just been
released.

Just to clarify: it's EAPI 3 and not EAPI 3_pre2?

Right, EAPI 3_pre2 is deprecated now.

Note that you can't stick EAPI 3 ebuilds in gentoo-x86, even
package.masked, until the Portage version used to generate the
metadata shipped by rsync supports EAPI 3. Which apparently is not
yet...
