Portage was and remains the "official" PM (there's some serious political |
| 9 |
history there if you wish to check the list archives), so until it |
| 10 |
supports the EAPI (including the two GLEP elements that haven't yet been |
| 11 |
officially adopted and are still in development in terms of council |
| 12 |
approval), such ebuilds are very unlikely to be allowed in the official |
| 13 |
tree. |

The announcement took some pains to make it quite clear those ebuilds |
| 16 |
weren't headed for the tree anything like soon, but not being a regular |
| 17 |
here, you probably missed the subtext. They were quite specific that it |
| 18 |
was ONLY for the live SVN ebuilds, which are severely discouraged in the |
| 19 |
tree anyway for QA reasons (snapshots under certain conditions, live |
| 20 |
ebuilds are usually overlay material only), NOT for ultimate stable |
| 21 |
candidates, which is by practical trend what the tree is more and more |
| 22 |
considered to be for as the experimental stuff heads for the overlays. |
