Ladies and Gentlemen,

I've spent some time reading all of this years emails on GLEP55 and 
added a few lines to version 1.5 which is the last offical version.

The HTML version (not with the GLEP style sheet) is at 
http://xrl.us/bevrnb (my devspace)
Its not ready to go to council as it still needs additional content 
which I don't have the background to contribuite. My role in this 
version of GLEP 55 has been interpretation and editorial.

I'm looking for three elements to add.

1. A description of the steps the PM needs to extract the EAPI in 
ebuilds today, if its any more than sourcing the ebuild.

2. Benchmarks and supporting code for EAPI extraction for EAPI in the 
filename.

3. Benchmarks and supporting code for EAPI extraction for EAPI in the 
ebuild.

Benchmarks for valid and invalid cache need to be supplied so we have 
both the user and developer views of performace. 

I expect items 2 and 3 to be provided by the proponents of these two 
competing options and critically examined for validity by the 
competitors.

When the above data is available, I'll update the document as it needs 
to contain all of the evidence to allow council to reach a decision 
without reading the ml. 

Reply with corrections and factual additions with supporting evidence 
only please. The role of the GLEP is to present the evidence and make a 
reccomendation. Its councils job to make any subjective assessments 
having read the GLEP.
