Continuing the whole EAPI 3 thing... |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
http://github.com/ciaranm/pms/tree/eapi-3 is a draft based upon |
| 10 |
ongoing discussion. There's more or less one commit per new feature. For |
| 11 |
each feature, I'd like to know: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
* whether there are any objections to that feature as a candidate for |
| 14 |
EAPI 3 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
* what the plan is for Portage implementation of that feature, and the |
| 17 |
likelihood of it making it |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
* whether that feature is considered critical for EAPI 3, or whether it |
| 20 |
can be dropped if necessary if Portage can't get it implemented |
| 21 |
within a certain time |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Also, I'd like to know of any potential omissions. |
| 24 |

I'd imagine this'd go easier of Council members went through before the |
| 26 |
meeting and provided individual opinions on each item, and then just |
| 27 |
discussed any disagreements during the meeting, but whatever's best for |
| 28 |
you... |
