I'd like the Council to approve EAPI 8. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
See last week's announcement and patch series posted to the gentoo-pms |
| 10 |
mailing list [1]. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The following preliminary list of features had been approved in the |
| 13 |
2020-11-08 Council meeting [2]: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
1. New features |
| 16 |
a) Selective fetch restriction, bug #371413 |
| 17 |
b) Install-time CBUILD dependencies (IDEPEND), bug #660306 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
2. Enhancements of existing features |
| 20 |
a) Variant of || ( ) with defined runtime behaviour, bug #489458 |
| 21 |
b) Pass --datarootdir to configure, bug #651958 |
| 22 |
c) Pass --disable-static to configure, bug #744871 |
| 23 |
d) Accumulate PROPERTIES and RESTRICT over eclasses and ebuilds, bug #701132 |
| 24 |
e) RESTRICT value for network-restricted tests, bug #553696 |
| 25 |
f) dosym -r to create symlinks relative to link location, bug #708360 |
| 26 |
g) Second optional argument for usev, bug #744868 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
3. Other changes |
| 29 |
a) Less strict naming rules for files in updates directory, bug #692774 |
| 30 |
b) Bash 5.0, bug #636652 |
| 31 |
c) More consistent insopts/exeopts, bug #657580 |
| 32 |
d) Default src_prepare accepts only file names in PATCHES, bug #752486 |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
4. Removals and bans |
| 35 |
a) unpack: Remove support for 7-Zip, RAR, and LHA, bug #690968 |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The final spec comes removes two items from this list: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
2a) Variant of || ( ) with defined runtime behaviour |
| 40 |
This has been dropped because its implementation is not ready. |
| 41 |
(Note that it was already proposed for EAPIs 6 and 7.) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
2e) RESTRICT value for network-restricted tests |
| 44 |
This has been implemented as PROPERTIES="test_network". |
| 45 |
Since all tokens in PROPERTIES are optional, we don't need this |
| 46 |
as part of EAPI 8, but can specify it retroactively for all EAPIs. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
There is also a couple of additions: |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
3e) Empty working directory in pkg_* phase functions, bug 595030 [3] |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
4b) Ban useq, hasv and hasq functions, bug 199722 [4] |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
See the respective bugs for details on these features. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
The wiki page at [5] tracks the progress of implementation in Portage |
| 57 |
and Pkgcore. |
