Hi again, As a suggestion, I would propose for each overlay to override the eclass functions for those necessary to EAPI 6 within their ebuilds.
For instance, go-overlay could use old eclasses that support EAPI 6
overriding the current ones. For some reason they updated their eclasses
to EAPI 7 before updating the ebuilds.
This brings me to the main issue that is the portage cache and possible
conficts between those eclass defined in the overlay and those from
gentoo main stream. Maybe a name convention would be useful here for
future upgrades as a code styling guide for gentoo developers.
What do you think about this kind of issues?
Best,
Samuel
