I was thinking about this a day or 2 ago and just noticed that a similar |
| 2 |
situation has come up. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Please refer to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=239006 but |
| 5 |
basically. |
| 6 |
|

=dev-java/ant-antlr-1.7.1 was changed from EAPI="1" to EAPI="2" to take |
| 8 |
advantage of the use flag dep functionality. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
now, I normally take the approach that if the change I am making to an |
| 11 |
ebuild effects the installed files then I bump. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
But what is the "best" thing to do here. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Some things to note is that this ebuild is ~arch and EAPI="2" is also |
| 16 |
~arch. Obviously if the ebuild was arch then changing to a ~arch EAPI |
| 17 |
would be a no-no. Are there any other situations which are definite |
| 18 |
no-no's? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Anyway, would be nice to get some feedback, idea's on this and |
| 21 |
hopefully also a more detailed explaination from a pm's perspective (if |
| 22 |
there is one). |

Thanks. |

ps. If changing EAPI is bad then maybe repoman should check for it. |
