That's true enough. epatch_user() must be called for it to work. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
However, it is defined in base.eclass and part of EAPI-2. How many |
| 42 |
ebuilds does that exclude these days? |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I did a quick back-of-the-envelope check: |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
# find /var/portage/ -type f -name "*.ebuild" | wc |
| 47 |
29846 29846 1730549 |
| 48 |
# grep EAPI=[234] /var/portage/*-*/*/*.ebuild | wc |
| 49 |
11138 11273 719796 |
| 50 |
# grep EAPI=1 /var/portage/*-*/*/*.ebuild | wc |
| 51 |
336 341 21938 |
| 52 |
# grep EAPI=0 /var/portage/*-*/*/*.ebuild | wc |
| 53 |
5 5 275 |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
37.3 coverage of >=EAPI-2. Wow. I really thought it would be more. |
