Quite a while ago, bug 520528 was filed, asking for a ban of |
| 2 |
has_version, best_version, and possibly other commands in global scope. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Since most ebuild commands cannot be used in global scope anyway, |
| 5 |
I think that a positive list of commands _allowed_ there would make more |
| 6 |
sense; all other commands would be banned. |
| 7 |

Discussing this in #gentoo-pms, we have identified the following |
| 9 |
commands (from PMS section 12.3 [1]) that would be allowed: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
- einfo, einfon, elog, ewarn, eqawarn, eerror, ebegin, eend |
| 12 |
- has, hasv, hasq |
| 13 |
- ver_cut, ver_rs, ver_test |
| 14 |
- inherit, EXPORT_FUNCTIONS |
| 15 |
- get_libdir |
| 16 |
- debug-print, debug-print-function, debug-print-section |
| 17 |
- die (this is a special case: calling die in global scope is an error) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Are there any others that I've missed, i.e. that are legitimately used |
| 20 |
in global scope of ebuilds and eclasses? |
