Subject: [gentoo-dev] repoman: check for deprecated eclasses

1 Hi,
2
3 Repoman needs to check for deprecated eclasses, see
4 http://bugs.gentoo.org/141677
5
6 As a result of the discussion in the bug, we would like to add
7 $PORTDIR/qa-data/eclass.deprecated
8 to allow to deprecate eclasses properly and make repoman fail.
9
10 This will allow us to avoid problems with new ebuilds for deprecated
11 eclasses which result in bugs like
12 Bug 141629 dev-util/systemtap-20060325.ebuild uses deprecated
13 kernel-mod.eclass
14 I believe the developer has not known anything about that kernel-mod is
15 deprecated when making that ebuild. Now he ignores the bug and we have that
16 old eclass used again :(

18 Best regards,
19 - Stefan
