Right, the information on the wiki page is taken from pkgcore's NEWS |
| 13 |
file. |

Unfortunately, information about EAPI 4 and 5 support is not entirely |
| 20 |
clear from the NEWS file, so one must look into the git log. Quoting |
| 21 |
bug 326459 comment 4 [1]: |

EAPI 4: pkgcore-0.6.5 (2011-06-22), which is the first version |
| 24 |
(correctly) supporting default src_install. There's another change |
| 25 |
for EAPI 4 in 0.7, namely removal of the AA and KV variables, but I |
| 26 |
think this can be ignored here (also it's not in the NEWS file). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
EAPI 5: pkgcore-0.9.3 (2016-05-28). NEWS says for 0.9 that it has |
| 29 |
"Nearly complete EAPI=5 support just missing subslot rebuilds." |
| 30 |
This was finally added in 0.9.3, "Add support for PN:slot/subslot |
| 31 |
and slotted glob targets." |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
So yes, it appears that full support for EAPI 5 was added only in |
| 34 |
pkgcore-0.9.3, which supports EAPI 6 already. |
