If possible, assuming it is not already possible I would like to see |
| 7 |
support for checking out multiple repositories; that way the patches |
| 8 |
can simply be obtained from a repository instead of having to |
| 9 |
explicitly snapshot them for |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Also, please just call it git-3.eclass as it is a major change; any |
| 12 |
other form of naming will introduce confusion (eg. -r1 < -2), also we |
| 13 |
probably shouldn't change git-2.eclass as even when masked it doesn't |
| 14 |
seem like a good thing to break its current API and documentation as |
| 15 |
well as what actually works in the Portage tree. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Remind that the readers of this list are not the only people who use |
| 18 |
this eclass; if you just drop it in place or use an older version, some |
| 19 |
of our users (those using 9999 or overlays) are going to be unhappy. |

It seems better to enumerate all git-2 users and change them to git-3 |
| 22 |
once it works properly and you have tested them to still work; or, you |
| 23 |
could ask the maintainers to do the migration next time they work on |
| 24 |
the package in question. |

Regardless, thanks for getting rid of git.eclass and improving it. |
