As I had announced in the January meeting, I'd ask the Council to |
| 12 |
pre-approve the list of features for EAPI 9, as listed here: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Future_EAPI/EAPI_9_tentative_features |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
- Eclass revisions [1] |
| 17 |
- EAPI of profiles defaults to repository EAPI [2] |
| 18 |
- Allow comments in profile parent files [3] |
| 19 |
- econf: Ensure proper end of string in configure --help output [4] |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
This will be an EAPI with few new features, and its motivation is mainly |
| 22 |
to have eclass revisions. The second and third feature will affect only |
| 23 |
profiles, and the fourth feature is effectively a bug fix. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
There were also ideas about no longer exporting A (or alternatively, any |
| 26 |
variables) to the ebuild environment [5], but nobody has come forward |
| 27 |
with a concrete proposal yet. So, IMHO it will need more discussion and |
| 28 |
won't be ready for EAPI 9; developers who have asked for the feature may |
| 29 |
consider leading that discussion. IIUC, these would be the TeX and Go |
| 30 |
maintainers. |
