Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
as a consequence of the full profile tree going EAPI=5 (as announced earlier), |
| 4 |
1) the long-deprecated 10.0 profiles make no sense anymore and have been |
| 5 |
removed |
| 6 |
2) the separate eapi-5-files directory makes no sense anymore. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I've increased the EAPI in profiles/base to 5, and added stable.mask/force |
| 9 |
files there. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Now I have a request... PLEASE: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
*** If you have in the past added an entry in profiles/eapi-5- |
| 14 |
files/package.use.stable.mask, please migrate it to |
| 15 |
profiles/base/package.use.stable.mask *** |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
i.e. add the entry in the second location and remove it afterwards in the |
| 18 |
first location. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I have not just copied the whole file over, since base is at a different point |
| 21 |
in the inheritance order of the profiles and I want to avoid subtle breakage. |
| 22 |
(Especially if the mask is lifted somewhere else, interacts with a file in |
| 23 |
another profile directory, etc bla bla... but that is something that *you* who |
| 24 |
made the mask entry should know.) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Objective is that profiles/eapi-5-files/package.use.stable.mask becomes |
| 27 |
"empty" and the whole profiles/eapi-5-files directory can afterwards be |
| 28 |
removed. |
| 29 |
|

Thanks a lot & cheers, |
| 31 |
