7 It's still being edited, so I have no idea whether I'm commenting on the
8 same version as was originally posted. Regardless, here's a few points
9 on the version I'm reading:
10
11 - pkg_pretend() and a default src_install() would be excellent to have.
12
13 - docompress is good
14
15 - doheader/doinclude would be nice, same for dodoc -r, doins symlinks
16
17 - fixing problems in some existing features would be useful
18
19 - I understand the reasoning for the SRC_CONFIGURE_WITH blah stuff. I
20 strongly oppose this implementation because it makes ebuilds less like
21 bash scripts that are easy to understand. Instead I suggest extending
22 use_with() and use_enable() to accept multiple sets of arguments
23 (alternately, making custom, similar functions that will take multiple
24 args). Combined with the addition of src_configure() in EAPI=2, the
25 amount of code could be a large reduction from existing versions without
26 raising the barrier to entry.
