Something that's been discussed on IRC is the idea of a .pbuild file, |
2 |
written in Python. I can also think of .cbuild (C) .Cbuild (C++) .sbuild |
3 |
(Scheme) .hbuild (Haskell) and .jbuild (guess;) as being of immediate use, |
4 |
(although I accept I might be the only one interested in the first ;) |

The basic idea would be to replace ebuild.sh with an API equivalent (where |
7 |
API is defined as stable portage or an approved PMS which adequately covers |
8 |
this aspect.) How, or indeed whether or not, helper utilities equivalent to |
9 |
eclasses (or an elib) would be provided, would of course be down to whoever |
10 |
wrote and maintained the relevant code. |
11 |
|
12 |
How do others feel about such an addition? |
