Re: [gentoo-dev] developing a separate repo spec

One reason is EAPI development often moves relatively slowly and many potential repo spec features are probably simple enough to discuss/implement at a quicker pace, at least initially. That being said, if EAPI 8 isn't finalized most of the repo functionality could be added to it if that approach is more agreeable. Tim

It doesn't depend on it in any way either. I do have it forked already in my local overlay with few more font packages added to the list. Would there be interest in keeping this one alive, or replace it with some other new font-meta package? -- juippis OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature
