Hi all, |

The new "eclasses", and inheriting ebuilds, are ready. They are on cvs in |
| 4 |
/usr/portage/eclass and as kde packages 2.2.1-r1. They are masked for now, |
| 5 |
until drobbins declares eclasses officialy stable. Please test them if you |
| 6 |
can; just unmask them. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Currently all kde-base and kde-i18n packages are available, plus the new |
| 9 |
kdevelop 2.0.1. A newer, better version of kdevelop (and possibly qt) is |
| 10 |
expected from verwilst. Also, new ebuilds for koffice 1.1 and the latest |
| 11 |
quanta, and for all the kde apps we currently have, are expected today and |
| 12 |
tomorrow. |
| 13 |
|

The current results are great. any ebuilds went down to 4, 3, 2 lines. The |
| 15 |
kde-i18n ebuilds went down to 0 (not counting the inherit command). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
For those who are interesed, a howto/readme on writing inheriting ebuilds is |
| 18 |
coming soon, and after that one on writing eclasses. I plan to make eclasses |
| 19 |
better documented than ebuilds :-) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Also, while they are currently only used for kde ebuilds, they might in the |
| 22 |
future be used for gnome euilds or other ebuilds as well. Suggestions welcome! |
