I didn't know that. Last I knew, stable portage had special-case |
| 8 |
acceptance of @system and @world to prepare the way, but I hadn't seen |
| 9 |
that full /etc/portage/sets/* and /var/lib/portage/world_sets support was |
| 10 |
stabilized. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
If indeed it is as you say, I've even more to rejoice about! =:^) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
And extended sets support... it'd be nice, but it's beyond the daily |
| 15 |
usage I so much depend on sets for, so personally, I see no big need for |
| 16 |
it, especially with all the extra complexity it'd bring. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Just to clarify, tho, for those who could use 'em (I don't, but the |
| 19 |
gentooers I help on the various lists would likely find them useful): |
| 20 |
Are sets such as @live-rebuild and @module-rebuild available in stable, |
| 21 |
so I can start mentioning them, or are they part of the "advanced sets |
| 22 |
support" you mention as not yet stabilized? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
And... I thought I was already CCed on the bug (#235454) for this but |
| 25 |
apparently not. If sets support is stable already, gentoo-bashcomp could |
| 26 |
really use portage tab-completion for sets. =:^) |

(Unfortunately I've yet to wrap my head around actually programming bash's |
| 31 |
programmable completion functionality or I'd likely post the patches. |
| 32 |
The bug had idled for near two years until I just CCed myself.) |
