While writing the devmanual patch that I agreed to write for removal of eclasses I came across the very vague definition of "deprecating" eclasses before removal. Ulrich(last name ommitted to avoid stabbing ;-) ) and we came up with the following for the process of deprecating an eclass:
a. make sure nothing in the tree uses it any more b. announce deprecation on -dev c. put a warning in pkg_setup d. add a line containing exactly "# @DEAD" for vapier's man pages Please vote so we don't have to go over this in a meeting. I personally am fine with it, but my vote matters little. -- --------- Thomas Anderson Gentoo Developer ///////// Areas of responsibility: AMD64, Secretary to the Gentoo Council ---------
