Hello All, |
| 2 |
We were just discussing if it makes sense to either die or issue a QA |
| 3 |
notice if one of the do* functions fail. It turns out that there's |
| 4 |
already a bug for this [1]. This potentially applies to all helper |
| 5 |
functions that don't currently die on failure. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I think this is a good thing to have (die if one of these functions |
| 8 |
fails). Otherwise, every ebuild needs to explicitly chalk out all its |
| 9 |
error paths which is cumbersome, and not really required, since a vast |
| 10 |
majority of ebuilds *should* fail if one of these functions fails. |
| 11 |
Another option is to throw a QA notice (possibly die only |
| 12 |
FEATURES="strict"). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The bug basically seems only wanting in consensus on this matter, |
| 15 |
which is why I'm posting this here. |
