Hi, everyone. |
2 |
|
3 |
It's my pleasure to announce that the process for EAPI 7 has been |
4 |
started. For this reason, I'd like to encourage everyone to participate |
5 |
and provide feedback on the proposed features. We're slowly working |
6 |
moving forward with preparing patches for the specification and Zac is |
7 |
working on some real fun stuff in Portage. |

|
9 |
Unlike EAPI 6 which included mostly cosmetic changes, EAPI 7 is going to |
10 |
be a major step forward. The tentative list of changes included is |
11 |
available at [1]. If you have any comments on any of them, feel free to |
12 |
comment on the relevant bug. If you have any other ideas that you |
13 |
believe are worth including in EAPI 7 (and can be implemented within |
14 |
a reasonable time), please comment on specific bugs asking for |
15 |
inclusion. |
16 |
|
17 |
For your convenience, I have also attempted to shortly describe how |
18 |
the EAPI process works under the hood. You can see the draft doc at [2]. |
19 |
Please take it into consideration if you're planning to submit any new |
20 |
ideas for future EAPIs. |
21 |
|
22 |
TIA. |
