Subject: [gentoo-dev] GLEP: gentoo sync based unified deps proposal
Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2012 06:52:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120916135211.GC23030@localhost> (raw)
Folks-
Keeping it short and quick, a basic glep has been written for what I'm
proposing for DEPENDENCIES enhancement.
The live version of the doc is available at
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ferringb/unified-dependencies/extensible_dependencies.html
Wording fixes will occur, but the core concept shouldn't change (and
if it does, per PEP standards, the changes will be noted/tracked).
Please have a read through; it should be clear/concise as to why PM
authors are pushing for a unified dependencies to be done, what we can
get from it now, what it enables moving forward, and the direct cost
to devs should this idea be implemented.
Just to be absolutely clear, what I'm proposing is basically zero cost
for devs- they can (and should when it's in their benefit) switch to
the new syntax when it makes their job easier; it can be used in
parallel to existing DEPEND/RDEPEND/PDEPEND both to ease
transition/compatibility.
In addition, a prototype portage patch has been cut for dependencies
support (needs work/full validation), and a matching pkgcore one has
been cut.
I realize it's a complex subject; if you have questions, please feel
to ask.
Thanks, and pardon the ancillary/daft noise that has gone with this
subject.
