Versioned APIs are made to have incompatible changes. What do you like |
| 9 |
to see? Someone dropping all usages of that eclass from all ebuilds |
| 10 |
which are using it so that the maintainer can bump without thinking? I |
| 11 |
agree with you later statement that the eclasses have been announced |
| 12 |
to be a great solution when using autotools based packages, and |
| 13 |
dropping it now means going back to the old. But the changes needed |
| 14 |
are just straight forward, drop the eclass and use the default |
| 15 |
functions of EAPI=6. Plus the autotools.eclass when you need to run |
| 16 |
autoreconf and friends. |

I don't really understand what deprecation you like to see? We cannot |
| 25 |
use EAPI=6 right now and when it starts to exist, nothing will be |
| 26 |
broken. So you have some to time to adopt your thinking until you |
| 27 |
write your first ebuild in EAPI=6. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
At which particular point do you seen problems coming up? What do you |
| 30 |
think will make maintainers struggle with that change? |
