What a gentoo package manager has to be able to do, how it does certain steps etc pp. Portage is compatible by definition. EAPI = afaik ebuild api. Current ebuilds are all eapi = 0. If there are incompatible changes to the ebuild structure in the future, this ebuilds will use eapi 1, 2, .... it is mostly a sign for the package manager telling it how to deal with the ebuild. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
