I am 100% behind this idea and the council's decision, HOWEVER, I feel |
| 22 |
the most responsible way to transition would be to include a nice |
| 23 |
compressed "just before switch" portage snapshot. A news item could be |
| 24 |
drafted, that is shown to all users of portage versions which do not |
| 25 |
support eapi5 which directs them to the snapshot which they may need to |
| 26 |
use to successfully upgrade their systems. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I see exactly zero downside to doing this, so if whoever is going to |
| 29 |
actually do the editing of the profiles would like to work with me (to |
| 30 |
give me warning), I think I can manage the rest. |
| 31 |

Thanks, |
