Fair enough. Regular gentoo code (ebuild) issues are more straightforward. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
But, I'm starting on this 'low hanging fruit' now. I.E. converting |
| 25 |
smaller ebuilds which are eapi-5 and eapi-6 to eapi-7. So are there |
| 26 |
some cool/easy examples for folks to follow? Dunno. Perhaps someone |
| 27 |
more knowledgeable and current could suggest a few explicit examples. |

From what I discern, from scanning these packages you previously |
| 31 |
alluded to, many are 'maintainer-needed' that have few bugs so they just |
| 32 |
need to be updated to eapi-7? |

| 48 |
