[sabayon-dev] heads up: Entropy 182 and new .ini-like repositories.conf.d/* files support
Relax, backward compatibility has been preserved. This involves both Entropy Client (equo, rigo) and Entropy Server (eit) libraries and is about better (and more easily extensible) configuration files syntax in /etc/entropy/repositories.conf.d/* files. Also, this means that if you're an Eit user, you can define your repositories directly inside /etc/entropy/repositories.conf.d/ as you do with your client side stuff. So, /etc/entropy/repositories.conf.d/ is the new central place for setting repositories (and is also package manager friendly, in the sense that you can have your ebuilds install more stuff into this directory, like regional mirror lists, etc). Please read the following two commits: Entropy Client: http://git.sabayon.org/entropy.git/commit/?id=05f446d51a409266f44a5b65fadfdef574462807 Entropy Server: http://git.sabayon.org/entropy.git/commit/?id=bc63d82b9702ab9cd9648e5b5e6925e5f67cac14 Old configuration files will keep working. In particular, repositories declared inside /etc/entropy/repositories.conf will continue to work for 1.5 years from now, while repositories declared inside /etc/entropy/server.conf will continue to work for 2+ years from now. Entropy 182 has been just tagged. Cheers, -- Fabio Erculiani

I would like to ask you to point this out in a blog article and/or forum post, so users will be informed. I remember several issues with repos the last days, so this could be clarify some points. However, if you don't have the time for writing a forum post, I'd happy to do so :-) Regards André (aka Ryuno-Ki) -- Lead-Developer at Project Rogentos (Romanian Gentoo Operating System) GNU/Linux.

And I don't like to deprive Fabio of the delight of writing one. But my offer still remains. Just drop a line and I'll write something. I can send you an email with it then, Fabio. Or to the mailing list by request. Feel free to write and send it to somebody who has their blog attached to sabayon.org Ryuno-Ki -- Fabio Erculiani
