Was this discussed on gentoo-dev mailinglist before committing to the |
| 25 |
tree? Eclasses are supposed to be discussed on -dev prior to adding them |
| 26 |
to the tree to catch any (obvious) mistakes etc. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
This is particularly important for eclasses as they can't be removed or |
| 29 |
changed in incompatible ways later due to the way portage handles them. |

I don't have time to look at it myself right now but I'd still |
| 32 |
appreciate posting the code to gentoo-dev and have other devs/users |
| 33 |
comment on it. |
