If i want to use some future EAPI (give me some reasons, why this should be changed there by |
| 27 |
default), i should think about it. But most ebuilds will stay with the default. I do think about |
| 28 |
runtime deps and build deps. In my eyes, this is similar to src_unpack and src_compile. They have |
| 29 |
defaults, noone specifies the defaults, even if they are changed in some EAPI. |
