| Hi everyone, |
| 6 |
| |
| 7 |
| It might good to add support for a new RESTRICT=live value in |
| 8 |
| ebuilds. By specifying this value, an ebuild would be able to |
| 9 |
| indicate that it uses src_unpack() to download sources from some |
| 10 |
| type of live repository such as cvs, darcs, git, mercurial, or svn. |
| 11 |
| |
| 12 |
| This new RESTRICT=live value would be useful in at least a couple of |
| 13 |
| ways. One is that it could be used to implement a @live-rebuild |
| 14 |
| package set that's based on RESTRICT instead of INHERITED [1]. It |
| 15 |
| could also be used to implement a more accurate LIVEVCS.stable check |
| 16 |
| in repoman, again based on RESTRICT instead of INHERITED [2]. |
| 17 |
| |
| 18 |
| We already have plans for more advanced live ebuild support, |
| 19 |
| including live update detection, that will involve an EAPI bump [3]. |
| 20 |
| However, the RESTRICT=live value is a simple enhancement that we can |
| 21 |
| add now, without the need for an EAPI bump. Thoughts? |
