A round zero. Security patches are going stable soon after entering |
| 13 |
portage tree, and EAPI=2 ebuilds can not go stable yet, as there is no |
| 14 |
package manager supporting EAPI=2 that is going to be stable in the next |
| 15 |
week or two (so maintainers make sure they don't use EAPI=2 for security |
| 16 |
fix revisions). |
| 17 |
And if the bug is there and properly filed to the appropriate bugzilla, |
| 18 |
they wouldn't go stable before that bug is fixed (which I read are |
| 19 |
already fixed). |
| 20 |
I can not understand why this is dragged on. It was a bug, it is fixed. |
| 21 |
The sky is not falling and EAPI-2 is not broken - there was a bug in the |
| 22 |
implementation that is fixed. |
