So i still dont see any need or requirement for a policy to force/require all devs to always use or switch to the latest avaidable EAPI. As already written in this thread, it would just mean less new ebuilds and less version bumps with such a policy. And i also prefer more work done with older EAPI versions around then less ebuilds/new versions with latest EAPI. --=20 Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer --------------enigF656A600EFA99C985DEB7940 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iJwEAQECAAYFAlCBrXsACgkQG7kqcTWJkGexFQP+LghUAmi7l9nnt1zj0+4WWVZF vxYZHdTH9JonfMiBDXEycWR7SIWgnj281iMxKfjMumjYfIA0bUmxPP2ZZaxPGuI/ 2wASISNy5oAUO3FSgM1w8mB7c5w+pwmveiDl/nm6Uv+g3+8rWbdi7skCEYtMsBW0 736qYC1kziCzf6XfMiM= =cLy2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigF656A600EFA99C985DEB7940--
