It's quite likely that if you are currently on a system with Portage |
| 14 |
that does not understand EAPI 1 there's so many obstacles along the |
| 15 |
upgrade path that a clean install makes more sense. Maybe someone is |
| 16 |
willing to test this so that we actually know if there is an upgrade |
| 17 |
path from EAPI 0 available any more. |
