Subject: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] [epatch_user] Proposal: add possibility to tolerable-fail for some patches (plus add groupping support)
Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2014 09:07:10
Message-Id: 8157921.90WmP43hNG@note
1 My idea is to allow failing for some patches without breaking build at all. And, in parallel, to
2 add groupping.
3
4 How I imagine that:
5
6 etc/portage/patches/app-cat/<name>/
7 |
8 | - group_name/
9 | |
10 | |- 01_foo.patch
11 | |- 02_bar.patch
12 | |- <...>
13 |
14 |- 01_moo.patch
15 |- 99_meow.patch
16
17 Where every first-level piece (patch or group) in ```etc/portage/patches/app-cat/<name>/``` MAY
18 tolerably fail (not causing "die" for emerge), but if one of the patches inside the group fails, then
19 group MUST NOT be applied at all (and all previously applied patches from this group MUST be
20 reversed).

23 Any objections/approvals/suggestions?
