Subject: [gentoo-dev] A new glep: Ebuild format and metadata handling

1 Hello people,
2
3 as the discussion about glep55 has gone in circles long enough I decided to
4 collect the various ideas presented around that theme complex and compare them
5 in a way that might allow us to reach a sane decision.
6
7 Since it has become quite a lot of text I've kept some parts in sentence
8 fragments and bullet points. If anyone feels the need to change that into more
9 verbose wording feel free to do so, I hope the idea is clear enough. I feel it
10 is still a draft and could use some massaging.
11
12 If I should have forgotten any approach or misrepresented one I'd appreciate
13 an updated or rephrased section so it can be easily updated.
14
15 For anyone not interested in reading the whole thing, the conclusion is that
16 we want to have the eapi in an easily parsed form in the ebuilds. The
17 versioning rule change discussion (mostly glep54) should happen in an
18 independent discussion.
