We can either wait until several months after the feature is |
| 14 |
available in release media, or else do an EAPI bump (whichever comes |
| 15 |
sooner). Ideally, an EAPI bump will include a number of major |
| 16 |
changes. Other features that I think we should consider for an EAPI |
| 17 |
bump are: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
1) Grouping of package atom restrictions [1]. |
| 20 |
2) Default USE flags at the ebuild and/or profile level [2]. |
| 21 |
3) Ebuild helpers as functions that die automatically [3]. |
| 22 |
4) Elimination of the implicit RDEPEND "feature" [4]. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The first EAPI bump should probably be proposed as a GLEP and should |
| 25 |
include features that have been proposed/implemented as part of |
| 26 |
other GLEPs. |
