Who cares? Gentoo uses the ebuild/bash-with-shebang format. If you're |
| 11 |
trying to shove in something outside of that, that would be a package |
| 12 |
manager-specific format. Like XML-stuff (that can't include the shebang |
| 13 |
or EAPI="foo" at the top) specifically for, say, Paludis. |

But wait, |

If it's package manager-specific, then it doesn't belong in the main |
| 26 |
tree, as you stated. Would that include trying to push in the proposed |
| 27 |
suffix changes? If they have uses outside of it, then consider |
| 28 |
supporting it *only in that package manager*, rather than trying to |
| 29 |
force it on what is largely an unreceptive Gentoo group. Near as I can |
| 30 |
tell, it's only the Paludis folks that are interested in pushing this |
| 31 |
GLEP through. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
It doesn't seem like additional suffix flexibility is all that desirable |
| 34 |
except to the folks who represent one package manager. And, well, one PM |
| 35 |
does not make a specification. Mostly. Sorta. Occasionally. Sometimes. |
| 36 |
You'd think. |
