Hi, everyone. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Since there were no major objections raised against the proposal of |
| 4 |
switching user/group management to dedicated acct-*/* packages, I'd like |
| 5 |
to proceed as follows: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
1. Commit GLEP 81 draft (as of last posting [1], plus patchset links |
| 8 |
update). |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
2. Commit eclass change part of patchset v4 [2]. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
3. Give people some time for wider testing. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
At this point, the new eclasses would be non-binding, i.e. you will |
| 15 |
still be able to commit new packages using user.eclass old style. |
| 16 |
The eclasses would be bound with usual eclass stability requirements, |
| 17 |
i.e. some API changes may happen if necessary. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
4. If no major issues arise, submit GLEP 81 for formal approval. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Once GLEP 81 is formally approved, using user.eclass directly becomes |
| 22 |
deprecated and new packages are expected to use acct-*/*. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If anyone has any major objections against this, please voice them ASAP. |
