| Hi everyone, |
| 6 |
| |
| 7 |
| Please consider a PROPERTIES=live value that, when set in an ebuild, |
| 8 |
| will serve to indicate that the ebuild will use some form of "live" |
| 9 |
| source code that may vary each time that the package is installed. |
| 10 |
| The intention is for PROPERTIES=live to have a relatively pure and |
| 11 |
| simple meaning. Therefore, the definition is intentionally more |
| 12 |
| narrow than the definitions previously suggested for the related |
| 13 |
| RESTRICT=live [1] and PROPERTIES=live-sources [2] values. In the |
| 14 |
| future we may add additional (orthogonal) properties to represent |
| 15 |
| other things like locking [3]. |
| 16 |
| |
| 17 |
| Since there is no direct correspondence between what PROPERTIES=live |
| 18 |
| represents and any existing ebuild metadata (though there is some |
| 19 |
| limited correspondence with various INHERITED values), addition of |
| 20 |
| PROPERTIES=live will provide metadata that is useful in at least a |
| 21 |
| few ways: |
| 22 |
| |
| 23 |
| * Make the @live-rebuild package set [4] more accurate. |
| 24 |
| |
| 25 |
| * Make repoman's LIVEVCS.stable check more accurate. |
| 26 |
| |
| 27 |
| * Add exemptions to repoman's KEYWORDS.missing and KEYWORDS.dropped |
| 28 |
| checks. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Although an exemption to KEYWORDS.missing is in itself already a good |
| 31 |
progress, imho it would be even better if repoman, pcheck and other QA |
| 32 |
testing tools complained if there were any keywords set for an ebuild |
| 33 |
with PROPERTIES="live". |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
| Do the name and definition of this PROPERTIES=live value seem good? |
| 36 |
| Would anybody like to discuss any changes to the name, definition, |
| 37 |
| or both? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Seems a good idea. |

Thanks for all the work on the good proposals you've submitted lately to |
