Hey, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
IIRC we (=Gentoo as a whole) pretty much agreed to drop the digest |
| 4 |
files in favor of a extended Manifest format. Well, today I wrote some |
| 5 |
initial code for this new format, you can find the result in the |
| 6 |
attachment. It's far from complete, but most basic stuff seems to work |
| 7 |
with some restrictions: |
| 8 |
- `ebuild foo digest` works if you have all SRC_URI files for the |
| 9 |
package (= all ebuilds of that package), however it will not verify the |
| 10 |
Manifest before overwriting it. Also it currently won't create the old |
| 11 |
digests (digestgen is a bit nasty). |
| 12 |
- `emerge foo` should also work (thankfully the parsing could be |
| 13 |
implemented in a simple compat layer) |
| 14 |
- repoman will likely have problems (didn't touch it yet) |
| 15 |
- I didn't add al the fancy exception handling and cvs code (which IMO |
| 16 |
shouldn't be in portage itself but repoman) |
| 17 |

Opinions about adding Manifest2 support to the next "minor" version |
| 19 |
(2.2.0 or 2.0.54 or 2.1.0 or ...)? |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |
| 27 |
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
