Subject: [gentoo-dev] RFC: Make 10.0 profiles EAPI-2 'compliant'

1 I am suggesting that the new 10.0 profiles be marked as EAPI-2
2 compliant. This involves setting the content of the 'eapi' file to "2"
3 and bumping up the required portage version.

5 This seems like progress to me. Often, developers are complaining that
6 they can't use SLOT syntax in profiles (I know that is EAPI-1). Since,
7 the only time we can bump EAPI syntax in profiles is upon a new
8 directory creation, this seems like a good time to me. The new
9 profiles are still in flux until the official stages/cd's are
10 produced.
11
12 Also, another good reason is: "why not?" I don't think any Gentoo user
13 can avoid EAPI-2 up til now anyway.

15 Any comments? No comments means it will be decided off-list.
16 Timeframe: 1 week from now.
