Ok, from a discussion with Zac and a few others it seems that we should |
| 9 |
add a layer of indirection, so instead of specifying atoms the tree has |
| 10 |
a freeform version identifier, and portage can use it to look up the |
| 11 |
required atoms by using a (remote) mapping file. |
| 12 |
This new approach is implemented in |
| 13 |
dev.gentoo.org/~genone/pacthes/format-check.diff (it's basically a |
| 14 |
combination of strategies D and E in d.g.o/~genone/docs/treedeps.txt) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
This new patch also has a few other improvements: |
| 17 |
- checks overlays too |
| 18 |
- at sync time first check the tree format of the remote tree, if we |
| 19 |
can't handle it the sync is aborted |
| 20 |
- if no format specification is found warn the user about it (with the |
| 21 |
intention to fail in a future version) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
New intended merge date is this weekend or beginning of next week, so if |
| 24 |
you have any objections, make them now. |
