New-Item-Format 1.1 implies that it is backwards compatible if I read |
| 11 |
correctly? |
| 12 |
If so, we would have to use some other identifier than |
| 13 |
"Display-If-Installed" because EAPI 5 dependency atoms are not a subset |
| 14 |
of EAPI 0 ones. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Maybe |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
News-Item-Format: 1.1 |
| 19 |
EAPI: 5 |
| 20 |
Display-If-Has_version: ... |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
where Display-If-Has_version is a dependency specification according to |
| 23 |
the given EAPI, and the package manager must ignore it if the EAPI is |
| 24 |
unsupported (thus will display the news item always, which will also |
| 25 |
happen with package managers that only support News-Item-Format 1.0). |
