Sorry for the delay. The list of candidates for EAPI 5 is included |
| 11 |
below. I've grouped them into four categories: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
First, features where a preliminary wording of the spec is already |
| 15 |
available, and that don't seem to be controversial: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
* Slot operator dependencies |
| 18 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git;a=commit;h=f9f7729c047300e1924ad768a49c660e12c2f906 |
| 19 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229521 |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
* Profile IUSE injection |
| 22 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git;a=commit;h=d9040ab3482af5f790368bac5d053bf1cd760ba8 |
| 23 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176467 |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
* Remove IMAGE variable |
| 26 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git;a=commit;h=489a60deede1a0d78edb545e97b0e17addaa6ab4 |
| 27 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373377 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
* At-most-one-of operator for REQUIRED_USE |
| 30 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git;a=commit;h=1c2dff2df2305aff88a734e3a2716de1bb69f3b6 |
| 31 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354219 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
* EBUILD_PHASE_FUNC variable |
| 34 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git;a=commit;h=76ddca560da42fd968c53a2a0c38a6ac840a7ad4 |
| 35 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390765 |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
* Mandate GNU find |
| 38 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git;a=commit;h=472690942e14f63f1b1f3a5681976a59539ea3f8 |
| 39 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384157 |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
* new* commands can read from standard input |
| 42 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git;a=commit;h=4939df8586c7b17b03d8627a8371c988f4445a26 |
| 43 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263565 |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
* Parsing of the EAPI assignment is mandatory |
| 46 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git;a=commit;h=91d1e1e39b034bde7e5b981a5616a127135f37fa |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
* src_test support for parallel tests |
| 49 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git;a=commit;h=3ec4b3c22582a8ec206bce1e93bab377d7b264b5 |
| 50 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363005 |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
* Stable use forcing and masking |
| 53 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git;a=commit;h=2921080e5b4f67ae55d2f80f8fea2b8d47ced831 |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Second, features where a spec hasn't been written yet, but which look |
| 57 |
easy: |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
* doheader helper function |
| 60 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21310 |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
* usex helper function |
| 63 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382963 |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
* has_version and best_version argument for ROOT |
| 66 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401239 |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Third, things where I think that some additional discussion is needed: |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
* econf --disable-silent-rules |
| 72 |
- Doesn't seem controversial for EAPI 5. |
| 73 |
- It has been suggested that this is applied retroactively to EAPI 4. |
| 74 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git;a=commit;h=b7750e67b4772c1064543defb7df6a556f09807b |
| 75 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379497 |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
* User patches |
| 78 |
- Current wording of the spec requires that every ebuild includes a |
| 79 |
call to the apply_user_patches_here function in src_prepare. |
| 80 |
A alternative would be to apply user patches after src_prepare as |
| 81 |
a default, if the ebuild doesn't call the respective function. |
| 82 |
- Are we happy with the name apply_user_patches_here? |
| 83 |
(epatch_user? euserpatch?) |
| 84 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git;a=commit;h=a8bf7862967cce36b7f1b408934a774126da2538< |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
* License groups in ebuilds |
| 87 |
- A simpler solution would be create separate license files like |
| 88 |
GPL-2+ for the few cases where this is needed. This would have the |
| 89 |
advantage that it could be applied to all EAPIs. |
| 90 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287192 |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
* EJOBS variable |
| 93 |
- Discussion was almost 4 years ago. Is there (still) consensus? |
| 94 |

| 95 |
|
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
Finally, not sure if the following is a candidate for EAPI 5, or |
| 98 |
should be postponed to EAPI 6: |
| 99 |
|
| 100 |
* Cross-compile support |
| 101 |
