Problem: Gentooers are conditioned to consider -r1 a version indicator, |
| 8 |
making "python-r1" the closest back-reference to which "This version" can |
| 9 |
refer. At least here that was rather confusing, because on first parse |
| 10 |
it looked as if python-r1 (the eclass family) is only getting security |
| 11 |
updates, in which case why is python 3.2 being removed from it? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Solution: Make explicit that it's python 3.2 that is security-update only. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
One possible rewrite (which also changes the order quite a bit and with |
| 16 |
it the emphasis, don't know if that's desired but it appears to do the |
| 17 |
job from here): |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Python 3.2, now security-update-only as it's nearing end-of-life, will be |
| 20 |
dropped from the python-r1 family of eclasses at the same time. |
