You are wrong. What matters is the API of an eclass and how it is defined. There is no such definition of base.eclass guaranteeing that it will always either a) inherit eutils.eclass or b) provide certain functions from eutils.eclass (maybe by defining them directly in the future). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJR5xd0AAoJEFpvPKfnPDWzaxQH/0HZgEuSFwxO9yAwktAFLlW4 FdvNaUS+bn1oYGi/0vr/7E/j17ZH5/0nych/kw7kOa6009BpBjzdmDeAeZhIGI3n tGGJtYNAsnZ16Rp7yrD0IZNj71ozSiLr6cBJs6m4rpOEJls9O0I1qazxnD+45o6W iPfiDpfcUPFmTa/P3PJ69lAlNQA3EymmKXfB5SJdbt3QELxQR6wGdnpfrev0ieiG gwpmzQzVjgt/PBpw4+tH/HFNdEXF+YjfbGGXoYNkO0FS+GppMtKaTYLEzbLPVORz 1v1oBWw/Ysz7CYML1C5R+uZpbf8cZK26mrQMj5gOSeyem/o5vgD7R3uhHFAgsgs= =7JSh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
