[gentoo-dev] [RFC] gnupg-2 stable plans

2007-12-08 Thread Alon Bar-Lev
Hello,

I want to make gnupg-2 stable.

The problem is that gnupg-1.9 was slotted as slot 1.9 and made stable.

So now we have two slots, slot 0 and slot 1.9.

gnupg-2 is drop-in replacement of gnupg-1, so eventually no slotting
should be used.

As far as I see, there are two migration pathes I can use:

1. Mark gnupg-2 stable, as it blocks older versions, this results in
forcing users to manually unmerge the gnugp-1.9 series, this is the
quickest and simplest migration path.

2. Perform slot-move of slot 0 and slot 1.9 into slot 2, so
migration will be smooth. The problem is that I need all archs to work
with me in timely manner so that this will be possible. I have
bug#194113 waiting for arm, mips, s390, sh, and this only for the
dependencies.

Any thoughts?

Best Regards,
Alon Bar-Lev.

 That's an excellent idea, I'll update these to not use subshells in the
 future.
 
 Is there some sort of equivalent way to back-out of whatever 'insinto'
 does to the environment?

You're kinda stuck with subshells if you have to change install 
directories in an eclass.

You could theoretically save the variable set by running insinto() and 
later restore it, but I'm not sure that's supposed to be part of the API 
(check PMS?).

Thanks,

Seems reasonable. Any particular reason to slot gnupg-2 as SLOT 0 rather 
than SLOT 1.9?

I can imagine this resulting in very weird issues, when you have two of 
the same package installed in the same slot.
