While we are switching the whole tree to Nix, I'd strongly advocate that: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
1/ All ebuilds must be rewritten in whitespace [1]; that will have the |
| 12 |
great side-effect that all those pesky whitespace repoman checks will |
| 13 |
start to be meaningful finally. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
2/ All eclasses must be rewritten in Piet [2] at the same time, so that |
| 16 |
we make dev's life a bit more colorful once the former step. is |
| 17 |
finished. There is already a platform-independent IDE ready for this |
| 18 |
purpose after all [3]. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Since the benefits of the above are so obvious, I suppose this doesn't |
| 21 |
even require a GLEP and the porting work should therefore start |
| 22 |
immediately to make it in time for 2008.0. |
| 23 |

Have a nice day. :P |
