Hi,
do we already know how to do Prefix keywords in the main tree? [1]
Based on [2] I've hacked up some glep draft [3], although without any
Prefix pointers (yet).
What do you (Prefix devs and users) think about these definitions by the
means of my glep draft (take "Enterprise" as "Redistribution" here):
1) "Gentoo Prefix" is a "Redistribution of Gentoo Linux",
and thus the glep applies with:
+ PREFIX_KEYWORDS in the ebuilds
+ ACCEPT_DISTRO_KEYWORDS='PREFIX' in profile (make.conf?)
2) "Gentoo Prefix" is a standalone distribution, and does:
+ share KEYWORDS in the ebuilds with "Gentoo Linux"
+ ACCEPT_DISTRO_KEYWORDS='GENTOO' picks Prefix keywords only.
or
+ introduce new PREFIXKEYWORDS in the ebuilds
+ ACCEPT_DISTRO_KEYWORDS='GENTOO' resolves to $PREFIXKEYWORDS
+ "Enterprise Prefix" would have ENTERPRISE_PREFIXKEYWORDS in ebuilds
IMO, the most convenient/useable/obvious one (in practical sense) is 1),
although the more "correct" one (in political sense?) might be 2).
