[gentoo-dev] Per-category and per-package eclasses

[Elfyn McBratney]

Hi folks,

The other night, some of us in #gentoo-uk got talking about per-category and 
per-package eclasses, the idea being that each category, and each package, 
could have it's own 'eclass' subdirectory containing category- or 
package-local eclasses.  This in addition to having global eclasses in 
gentoo-x86/eclass.

For example (totally hypothetical), the php-sapi* eclasses would be a primse 
example of a category-local eclass (their only used by the PHP SAPI ebuilds).  
I can't find any eclasses that exist currently that'd be a good example of a 
local-eclass, but hopefully you get the idea.

Thoughts ?  Anything I've missed ciaranm ? :)

Best,
Elfyn
