Add a @SUPPORTED-EAPIS tag that can be used to explicitly provide a list of EAPIs that are supported by the eclass. The main goal is to make it possible to extract this list with relative ease, for scripting purposes. It is not included explicitly in the manpages at the moment.
The first use case is to make it possible to explicitly distinguish eclasses that do not support a specific EAPI from eclasses that are not used by any ebuilds using a specific EAPI. Therefore, it will make it possible to easily detect when we can deprecate old EAPIs from eclasses. --- app-portage/eclass-manpages/files/eclass-to-manpage.awk | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/app-portage/eclass-manpages/files/eclass-to-manpage.awk b/app-portage/eclass-manpages/files/eclass-to-manpage.awk index 8ff9f71a2022..681a567af043 100644 --- a/app-portage/eclass-manpages/files/eclass-to-manpage.awk +++ b/app-portage/eclass-manpages/files/eclass-to-manpage.awk @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ # <optional; description of how to report bugs; # default: tell people to use bugs.gentoo.org> # @VCSURL: <optional; url to vcs for this eclass; default: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/log/eclass/@ECLASS@> +# @SUPPORTED-EAPIS: <optional; space-separated list of EAPIs> # @BLURB: <required; short description> # @DESCRIPTION: # <optional; long description> @@ -147,6 +148,7 @@ function handle_eclass() { eclass = $3 eclass_maintainer = "" eclass_author = "" + supported_eapis = "" blurb = "" desc = "" example = "" @@ -176,6 +178,8 @@ function handle_eclass() { reporting_bugs = eat_paragraph() if ($2 == "@VCSURL:") vcs_url = eat_line() + if ($2 == "@SUPPORTED-EAPIS:") + supported_eapis = eat_line() if ($2 == "@BLURB:") blurb = eat_line() if ($2 == "@DESCRIPTION:") -- 2.13.0.rc1
