The devmanual warns that calling die in a subshell does not work. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/error-handling/index.html |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
This warning has been obsolete for some time; modern versions of |
| 9 |
Portage handle die in a subshell just fine. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
In fact, at least a couple of eclasses rely on this behavior. For |
| 12 |
example, python-r1 uses subshells created by multiprocessing.eclass to |
| 13 |
implement parallel "sub-phase" functions, any of which may call die on |
| 14 |
failure. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Are there any objections to removing this warning from the devmanual? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Also, I believe there may be a question or two on the recruiting |
| 19 |
quizzes that would need to be updated. |
