Hi,

Is there any way to allow EAPI 6 for some overlays with current portage
stable version (2.3.89-r1)?

There are many previous functions that were updated strictly to EAPI 7.
As an example here is the result when running "eix-sync -a":

Hi again,

As a suggestion, I would propose for each overlay to override the eclass
functions for those necessary to EAPI 6 within their ebuilds.

For instance, go-overlay could use old eclasses that support EAPI 6
overriding the current ones. For some reason they updated their eclasses
to  EAPI 7 before updating the ebuilds.

This brings me to the main issue that is the portage cache and possible
conficts between those eclass defined in the overlay and those from
gentoo main stream. Maybe a name convention would be useful here for
future upgrades as a code styling guide for gentoo developers.

What do you think about this kind of issues?

Best,

Samuel

Yes, either do that or upgrade EAPI in the ebuilds.

Apparently the go-overlay sabotaged itself with this commit:

https://github.com/Dr-Terrible/go-overlay/commit/2b5bfa01bf8777f28f57eb5b7da2ccde4ace744b#diff-2e747d04b1138fffb99dbb6a5fdd6c1b

There's no conflict. Overlays are free to override eclasses as needed.

> What do you think about this kind of issues?

It's not a good idea for overlays to make eclass changes that break
their own ebuilds.

The portage version is irrelevant. All versions of portage are backward
compatible with all old EAPIs.

Thank you very much Zac for your answers.

I was wondering if I was missing any coding convention after reading
[1], since I always follow the pattern to define eclasses inside my
overlays as needed, sometimes overriding those provided from gentoo
portage. I was not sure if I was doing the development breaking the
expected QA rules.

With your explanation I know now that I'm doing it the right way.

The stale cache issues that are mentioned there only applied to the
'pms' cache format which should not be used since around 2012/2013 when
we changed the default for the metadata/layout.conf cache-formats
setting here:
