you could even consider games.eclass as frozen and leave it as is, avoiding any work to change ebuilds using it
then start with games-1.eclass, should this thread lead to an accepted solution
You don't seem to understand that what you are proposing is ludicrous in many situations, yet you propose to *force* this asinine behavior on us all.
My answer to this is simply that I don't go piss in your pool, so don't piss in mine.
the problem is if one of the two of us were to do anything weird in the pool we both would pay, cause we are in the same pool , it is called gentoo, a community effort, which is those with @gentoo.org and those w/o your territorialism is not going to help gentoo one bit, im not forcing anything, im talking about it, i have not pushed for a managers meeting or anything, why do you insist im forcing things?
then games-2.eclass is used for ebuilds after a change is introduced
the versioning scheme is not the problem to me, id like it finer grained as you wouldnt end up with any more or less eclasses either way but have more flexibility as to how big you think your change was
The current system is very simple. A change to the way things works requires a new eclass. Versioning has *zero* to do with this, as it doesn't matter if I call the eclass "games-1.eclass" or "games-q3mod.eclass", except that the latter has some instant notification of purpose that a simple version does not.
This is my whole point. Forcing version numbers onto eclass that do not require them is a waste of time and energy for all involved, and will probably be fought to the bitter end simply due to its complete lack of merit.
you deny me my opinion about it having merit, yet hope i accept your opinion about it not having any whatsoever
if it comes down to it they are both just opinions, and it wouldnt be either of our decision in the end, should a refined proposal make it further it is not you or i who says yes or no
If an eclass needs a new "version" then make one. It is that simple. Don't force all of us to follow your versioning simply because you think you need it.
