Hi everyone, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Lots of people have expressed an urgent desire to have a stable |
| 7 |
version of portage that includes EAPI 2 support and automatic |
| 8 |
blocker resolution for cases like bug 244511. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Since portage-2.2 isn't quite ready yet due to ongoing work in |
| 11 |
package sets and preserve-libs, and I don't want ongoing work to |
| 12 |
hold back other features that are stable, I'm planning to split a |
| 13 |
2.1.6 branch from trunk. This branch will have package sets and |
| 14 |
preserve-libs support disabled. This branch will be named 2.1.6 in |
| 15 |
order to preserve continuity such that the final portage-2.2 release |
| 16 |
will have all of the features that have existed in previous |
| 17 |
portage-2.2 releases. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
In order to get testing on the new 2.1.6 branch, I plan to put |
| 20 |
portage-2.2 back in package.mask until portage-2.1.6 has been marked |
| 21 |
stable. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Does this plan sound good? Are there any objections or suggestions? |
| 24 |

Thanks, |
