Version 1.0 of eselect, the modular configuration framework, is now out. All changes since 1.0_rc2 have been bugfixes.
We haven't split out some of the "shipped with eselect but not core functionality" modules in this release, since I didn't want to break anything horribly -- that will probably be done for 1.1. However, we're providing a stable API now, so the "keep modules somewhere where the eselect people can find them and fix them for you" request is lifted. And since so few people seem to know this, despite it being a design feature that goes back to the very first random prototype hack: you don't have to run eselect module-name <args>. Many modules install a module-name-config or an update-module-name or somesuch symlink, and this is automatically recognised and converted internally. [ No, I'm not the guy in charge of eselect. That's Aaron, but he's busy and I needed eselect-1.0 before I could get GLEP 42 finalised. You can look forward to eselect 1.0.1 when he returns and finds all the stuff that I forgot to fix. ] -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Wearer of the shiny hat) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
