| Hello again, |

| I'd like to get some feedback about what people would like to have |
10 |
| in the final EAPI 2. In planning for this EAPI bump, we should |
11 |
| strike a balance somewhere in between everything that we'd like to |
12 |
| have and whatever we can implement in a short period of time. It |
13 |
| doesn't really makes sense to delay the EAPI bump too much for |
14 |
| implementation of new features, since those features can simply be |
15 |
| reserved for a future EAPI bump. |
16 |
|
17 |
Are there any other features that should be included in EAPI-2? |
18 |
Does anyone have any objections to the features Zac listed? |
19 |
|
20 |
| The latest experiment EAPI is 2_pre2, supported by |
21 |
|> =sys-apps/portage-2.2_rc7. Please refer to the html documentation |
22 |
| [1] for addition information about the experimental EAPI extensions |
23 |
| which are summarized here: |
24 |
| |
25 |
| * The 'doman' helper function recognizes language codes in man page |
26 |
| source files, and uses them to generate an appropriate |
27 |
| installation path. |
28 |
| |
29 |
| * Dependency atoms can be constrained to match specific USE flag |
30 |
| states, including USE conditional expressions embedded within |
31 |
| the atoms themselves. |
32 |
| |
33 |
| * The old src_compile phase function is split into separate |
34 |
| src_configure and src_compile fuctions. |
35 |
| |
36 |
| * Default phase function implementations for the current EAPI are |
37 |
| accessible via a function having a name that begins with default_ |
38 |
| and ends with the respective phase function name. |
39 |
| |
40 |
| * Default phase function implementations for older EAPIs are |
41 |
| accessible via functions having names that start with 'eapi', |
42 |
| followed by the EAPI value. |
43 |
| |
44 |
| * The default phase function implementation for the currently |
45 |
| executing phase is accessible as a function named 'default'. |
46 |
| |
47 |
| In addition to the above extensions, I've received a patch for |
48 |
| SRC_URI arrows [2] that I plan to review but haven't had time yet. |
49 |
| Please file bugs for any additional features that you'd like to add |
50 |
| and mark them as blockers of bug 174380 [3]. |
51 |

| Thanks, |
