Hi all, |
2 |
|

I've repeatedly been contacted by devs who are unhappy with the |
4 |
abbreviation "PMS" because of the results that show up in search |
5 |
engines [1]. I've also seen that it was ridiculed. |

So, what would you think about renaming to "Gentoo EAPI |
8 |
Specification"? Project, repository, mailing list etc. could be |
9 |
renamed to "eapi" (lower case or all caps, as appropriate). |
10 |
|

The new name would also match the first paragraph of the introduction |
12 |
(quoted below) and it would clarify that certain aspects of the |
13 |
package manager, like the VDB format that came up recently, do not |
14 |
necessarily fall within the scope of the document. |
15 |
|
16 |
| This document aims to fully describe the format of an ebuild |
17 |
| repository and the ebuilds therein, as well as certain aspects of |
18 |
| package manager behaviour required to support such a repository. |
