I don't see the need for having eclasses and elibs treated as two different things. The way it is now, we can have classes that do export vars and eclasses that don't. Two issues we'd have with elibs: * even things like eutils set a DEPEND, since patch is a dep. * anything which touches use flags will have to be an eclass, since IUSE needs to be set. Is there a good reason for an arbitrary split? Also, are you really really really sure you can get the transition going smoothly without forcing a portage update upon everyone? -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
