Hello,

for the planned media-libs/mesa-7.11 stabilization, the default radeon
r600 driver changes from classic to gallium. Users who upgrade from
mesa-7.10 will not be switched automatically. I promised in
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_225e87fe47a62b0591fb46ba4054798f.xml
to make a news item when that happens.

Question is, can I put the EAPI 2 USE conditional
"media-libs/mesa[video_cards_radeon]" in Display-If-Installed: or not? I
don't find any explicit mentioning. GLEP 42 (which predates EAPI 2) just
says "a dependency atom".

Possible answers:
1. If an EAPI is approved for use in the portage tree, its USE syntax
can also be used for news items.
2. Council must approve EAPIs for news items
3. A new GLEP or new version of the News-Item-Format is necessary

Your thoughts? Am I missing something?


Best regards,
Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn
