15 If we manage to find the time after solving the important cat problem,
16 I'd like the Council to vote on final EAPI 7 version. This would be all
17 items originally pre-approved, excluding the following:
18
19 a. Sandbox path removal functions rm* [1] as requested by ulm. We've
20 established that those aren't strictly needed at the moment and we'd
21 like to come up with a better design (possibly a single function instead
22 of 4 we have now, or 8+ we'd have with the proposal).
23
24 b. Runtime-switchable USE flags [2] due to not being implemented.
25
26 c. ||= binding any-of deps [3] due to not being implemented (and not
27 even being clear on how it could be implemented).
28
29 The EAPI 7 draft is available at [4]. Note that it needs to be updated
30 for the removed items.
31
32 All other items were implemented and tested in Portage. The only item
33 not merged yet is SYSROOT/BROOT whose implementation is still being
34 nitpicked a bit but there's no risk that it wouldn't be finished soon.
35
36 While at it, I would also like to establish a timeline for permitting
37 tree-wide use of EAPI 7.
