If I may... take this as at least certain members of the council agreeing |
| 18 |
with you that certain package management issues are holding up Gentoo |
| 19 |
(note, I did NOT say portage, per se, but package management issues in |
| 20 |
general, I'm deliberately leaving it at that general level). Logically, |
| 21 |
an agreement on some sort of current base package spec, PMS, is, I |
| 22 |
believe most will agree, the next big step in resolving that issue. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Viewed from that angle, the repeated emphasis on a time-line of sorts |
| 25 |
(regardless of the word used to communicate the idea), let's say for |
| 26 |
argument's sake (since I don't know others, but am not at a level to know |
| 27 |
for sure) uniquely, only underscores the importance the council (or |
| 28 |
certain members thereof, anyway) is now attaching to the issue. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Or are you now arguing that movement on package management is /not/ |
| 31 |
holding back Gentoo, now? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
BTW, from my read of the portage-dev list, there are several things there |
| 34 |
on hold for EAPI-1, as well, and while a full definition of EAPI-0 isn't |
| 35 |
absolutely necessary before moving on EAPI-1, if it's possible time-wise, |
| 36 |
it's the most logical and convenient way, so that too is holding on the |
| 37 |
definition of EAPI-0, meaning all three projects appear to be awaiting it |
| 38 |
in some form or another, thus making it even /more/ critical timewise, |
| 39 |
regardless of how things turn out package-manager-wise down the pike. |
