Version 1.0 of eselect, the modular configuration framework, is now
out. All changes since 1.0_rc2 have been bugfixes.
We haven't split out some of the shipped with eselect but not core
functionality modules in this release, since I didn't want to break
anything horribly -- that will probably be done for 1.1. However, we're
providing a stable API now, so the keep modules somewhere where the
eselect people can find them and fix them for you request is lifted.
And since so few people seem to know this, despite it being a design
feature that goes back to the very first random prototype hack: you
don't have to run eselect module-name args. Many modules install a
module-name-config or an update-module-name or somesuch symlink, and
this is automatically recognised and converted internally.
[ No, I'm not the guy in charge of eselect. That's Aaron, but he's busy
and I needed eselect-1.0 before I could get GLEP 42 finalised. You
can look forward to eselect 1.0.1 when he returns and finds all the
stuff that I forgot to fix. ]
