Hello, As discussed with ulm, I'd like to start a thread for collecting initial items for EAPI 6. Preferably items which are either almost ready or are easy to implement and are non-controversial. In other words, thing which are practically ready to get on the actual list.
As usual, each item should have a corresponding 'Future EAPI' bug which blocks the tracker [1]. [1]:https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=future-eapi My propositions: a) for improving self-consistency of EAPI (high priority): - #463586: move get_libdir to EAPI (since it is used in econf). - #459692: split the doc-installation part of default_src_install (e.g. as einstalldocs). - #451938: provide a 'die' variant respecting 'nonfatal' (to implement custom helpers respecting 'nonfatal'). b) for improving ebuild & eclass development: - #449862: tidy up IUSE checking. - #449806: support using DOCS to append to the standard document list. - #431340: allow bash-4.2 (may require additional policy restrictions). - #273101: explicit variable for no. of parallel jobs (rather than hacking MAKEOPTS). -- Best regards, Michał Górny
