+Often, user-submitted ebuilds do not use the latest EAPI and may even |
30 |
+be several versions behind. EAPIs bring new helper functions and improved |
31 |
+methods for completing common tasks. It's recommended that submitted ebuilds |
32 |
+use the latest EAPI possible (subject to eclass constraints) to improve |
33 |
+the ebuild's quality and ease review. |
