Honestly I don't care what the existing scheme is. I just see the |
| 13 |
RESTRICT list as a set of boolean flags that give me more |
| 14 |
information about the ebuild than I'd have without it. Here's what |
| 15 |
we've got now: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
binchecks - Disable all QA checks for binaries. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
bindist - Distribution of binary packages is restricted. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
fetch - Files will not be fetched via SRC_URI. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
installsources - Disable FEATURES=installsources. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
mirror - Disable mirroring. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
primaryuri - Fetch from URLs in SRC_URI before GENTOO_MIRRORS. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
strip - Final binaries/libraries will not be stripped. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
test - Do not run src_test even if user has FEATURES=test. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
userpriv - Disables FEATURES=userpriv. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Looking at the above list I say it's fair game to put just about any |
| 36 |
boolean flag in RESTRICT. |

That requires an EAPI bump, which also means that it can't be used |
| 43 |
in ebuilds with EAPI 0 or 1. The RESTRICT solution is simpler and we |
| 44 |
can use it right now in any ebuild. |
