Hi, everyone. |
2 |
|
3 |
Since there were no major objections raised against the proposal of |
4 |
switching user/group management to dedicated acct-*/* packages, I'd like |
5 |
to proceed as follows: |
6 |
|
7 |
1. Commit GLEP 81 draft (as of last posting [1], plus patchset links |
8 |
update). |
9 |
|
10 |
2. Commit eclass change part of patchset v4 [2]. |
11 |
|
12 |
3. Give people some time for wider testing. |
13 |
|
14 |
At this point, the new eclasses would be non-binding, i.e. you will |
15 |
still be able to commit new packages using user.eclass old style. |
16 |
The eclasses would be bound with usual eclass stability requirements, |
17 |
i.e. some API changes may happen if necessary. |
18 |
|
19 |
4. If no major issues arise, submit GLEP 81 for formal approval. |
20 |
|
21 |
Once GLEP 81 is formally approved, using user.eclass directly becomes |
22 |
deprecated and new packages are expected to use acct-*/*. |
23 |
|
24 |
If anyone has any major objections against this, please voice them ASAP. |
