For the record, I think it's /somewhat/ confusing too, and would prefer |
| 15 |
your two options... except for the backward compatibility thing, which |
| 16 |
throws a serious wrench into things if we end up keeping the existing -- |
| 17 |
with-bdeps option even for a deprecation period, and throws an entirely |
| 18 |
different wrench into things if we simply ignore backward compatibility |
| 19 |
and remove it without a deprecation period. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Which leaves me at a loss as to which option would be better, killing |
| 22 |
backward compatibility for an arguably clearer pair of options, or |
| 23 |
staying with backward compatibility and Zac's confusing, but perhaps the |
| 24 |
best that can be done given the existing option and backward |
| 25 |
compatibility, pair of options. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Tho for me personally, I've been --with-bdeps=y all the way, since |
| 28 |
original introduction, and Zac's changes would affect that at all, tho of |
| 29 |
course I'd have to adjust due to loss of backward compatibility if mjo's |
| 30 |
options were taken. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
And there's already portage precedent for "I don't want to have to care, |
| 33 |
just make it do the right thing unless I tell it otherwise", in other |
| 34 |
areas, so I think --with-bdeps-auto= seems to be most consistent with the |
| 35 |
existing pattern, which means, confusing tho it may be, it /does/ result |
| 36 |
in most people not needing to care, so in the end, even tho I agree it's |
| 37 |
definitely more complex than I'd wish, I'll have to lean Zac's way on |
| 38 |
this one. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Which effectively surprises even me. I started this post expecting I was |
| 41 |
going to agree with mjo, but ended up talking myself out of it. <shrug> |
