EAPI5 features |
32 |
============== |
33 |
Due to holidays, the list of features for EAPI5 was announced only 2 |
34 |
days in advance of the meeting. This gave little time for Council |
35 |
members to prepare for votes. |
36 |
Therefore a vote was conducted if voting on EAPI5 features in this |
37 |
meeting was deemed suitable. |
38 |
|
39 |
The Council voted unanimously to postpone voting on EAPI5 features. |
40 |
|
41 |
The list of features for EAPI5 were outlined by ulm in |
42 |
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/2101/focus=2115 |
43 |
Since many of these features appear not to be implemented in Portage, a |
44 |
discussion on their implementation is called for by the Council. The |
45 |
Council stressed that it prefers to vote on EAPI5 features that can and |
46 |
will be implemented within a short timeframe, say 1 month. |

56 |
scarabeus suggested the change "dev should use latest eapi when bumping" |
57 |
to "dev must use latest eapi when bumping if not forbidden by eclasses". |
58 |
He was asked to bring it up on the mailing lists, to get a better |
59 |
definition of when what EAPI should be used. |
60 |
|
61 |
ulm raised deprecation of EAPI 1 on request of patrick. Arfrever argued |
62 |
that backwards compatability is not an issue here, and that it can |
63 |
greatly reduce code size/maintenance of eclasses when EAPI0 and EAPI1 |
64 |
are removed. It was questioned whether removal of an EAPI really brings |
65 |
that much benefits. It seems eclasses can drop support for EAPIs, if |
66 |
all consumers don't use them, which does not require complete removal of |
67 |
the EAPI. It appears some packages use build-systems that require |
68 |
EAPI1. |
