While I like it for ease of rapid development, conceptually, this worries me.
Presently, if you add a new patch, you need to edit an ebuild, which provides a strong hint that you might need to revbump the ebuild per development best practices: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/ebuild-revisions/index.html If this eclass was used, there would no longer be revbumps, and you could not revert to the old version simply by reinstalling the prior version. Is there a way we can get the best of both worlds? -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation Treasurer E-Mail : [email protected] GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136
