And the following note about bugs: Please stop making bugs with |
| 18 |
[EAPI-2] or whatever in the title. Use [Future EAPI] unless you have a |
| 19 |
definite agreement from absolutely everybody and their dog that it's |
| 20 |
going into EAPI 2. I had to go through and fix a load of bugs saying |
| 21 |
[EAPI 1] and don't really want to do it again. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Things still left to do for PMS are as follows. Well-informed people |
| 24 |
are encouraged to comment and provide patches to pms-bugs@g.o. If you |
| 25 |
aren't sure whether you're well-informed, you aren't. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
* Someone needs to write up dohtml. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
* 178092: Someone needs to write up package.use. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
* 170697: can we consider profile masks to be in the same category as |
| 32 |
'use? ( ) : ( )' and thus not worth documenting? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
* 174319: make.defaults needs to be parsed by things other than bash. |
| 35 |
Just how much of bash's syntax do we support? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
* 174330: PMS currently bans interactivity except in pkg_config. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
* 174335: Some ebuild use FEATURES. Can we get them to stop doing that, |
| 40 |
or do we have to force package managers to emulate it? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
* 174536: Currently there's no way to tell whether you have a cat/pkg |
| 43 |
or a cat/pkg-ver, and in no place does anything have to do so. Do we |
| 44 |
want to introduce new restrictions so that people can do that? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
* 175246: Portage sets EBUILD_PHASE=depend for the metadata source. Do |
| 47 |
we want to enforce this? |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
* 188449: The eight digit limit for version parts is still in. Do we |
| 50 |
want to keep it? |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
* 196561: PMS describes the ~ operator as working the way developers |
| 53 |
expect it to work, but Portage doesn't quite do that. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
* 202631: PMS doesn't document profile.bashrc. Currently, Paludis |
| 56 |
ignores it because most of the code that ends up there is extremely |
| 57 |
Portage specific. Do we document profile.bashrc and make it much more |
| 58 |
constrained? |
