[gentoo-dev] EAPI 7 can be used in the Gentoo repository

EAPI 7 has been approved by the Council one week ago [1]. The latest
Portage version in ~arch (2.3.36) supports it, and the Infra team has
upgraded the rsync master so that metadata cache generation will work
correctly.

Therefore, EAPI 7 ebuilds can be committed to the Gentoo repository
from now on. (Make sure that all inherited eclasses are supporting the
new EAPI, though.)

Some pointers to documentation:

- Package Manager Specification, in PDF and HTML format:
  https://projects.gentoo.org/pms/latest/
  or install ~app-doc/pms-7_p20180430

- List of changes in EAPI 7:
  https://projects.gentoo.org/pms/7/pms.html#x1-179000E

- EAPI Cheat Sheet (print out, and fold to a leaflet):
  https://projects.gentoo.org/pms/7/eapi-cheatsheet.pdf

- mgorny's (unofficial) guide:

Great news :)

W.r.t the new support for cross building, it would be grep if the eclass user could make use of
the new --prefix support in recent shadow utilities so users can be added to cross ROOT.

Hi,

I read documentation about new features for configure profiles, thanks.

In the past I open a discussion about permit use of annotation
<package>::<repos> under profiles package.mask to mask from overlay for
example gentoo/upstream packages.
Is now supported by eapi 7?

Thanks in advance.
G.

There's nothing like that in EAPI 7, but there's an open request for a
portage profile-formats extension here:
