We now purge the workdirs but keep the image + around until merging. + +* Start to record REPO_REVISIONS in build-info in VDB (bug #924772). + + Ultimately the intention is to expose this information in binhost + metadata so that clients can select consistent revisions of source + repositories. + +* util: file_copy: Support btrfs's FICLONE ioctl for fast file clones. + + Added when implementing the below 'src: Drop linux_reflink C module.' + cleanup. + +* sync: Add new 'zipfile' sync-type. + + This allows fetching ebuild repositories via snapshots from e.g. GitHub, + gitweb, cgit. + Bug fixes: * ctypes: Add workaround for loading libc on musl. * util: set a timeout for urlopen calls (bug #926221). +* SpawnProcess: Fix noise / warnings caused by set_term_size (bug #923750, bug #925456). + +* binpkg, gpkg: Add missing newlines to error messages. + +* writable_check: Improve whitespace handling when parsing /proc/self/mountinfo (bug #925888). + +* doebuild: Call _setup_locale (bug #925863). + + This is needed to more robustly handle invalid or inappropriate locale settings. + +* binarytree._populate_remote: Fix UnboundLocalError for binpkg-request-signature (bug #926048). + +* elog/mod_custom: Spawn processes in background (bug #925907). + + Fixes a noisy crash on exit. + +* Fix REQUIRED_USE error with --fetchonly --pretend but not --fetchonly (bug #675748). + +* socks5: Fix exit with FEATURES="network-sandbox-proxy" or FEATURES="distcc" (bug #925240). + +* meson.build: Install dist-info METADATA (bug #920330). + + This is needed for 'pip' to not be confused when Portage is installed system-wide. + +* EbuildPhase/EbuildBinpkg: Ensure PKGDIR subdirectory permissions (bug #712222). + + A warning (failure) was observed with FEATURES="installsources" otherwise. + +* config: Sort FEATURES to avoid non-determinism (bug #914441). + +* man: Document autoenabled options by --getbinpkgonly. + +* BinpkgPrefetcher: Use eerror for binarytree inject failures (bug #927632). + + This improves the readability of the error substantially. + +* install-qa-check.d: Remove QA warning when no bash completions are found (bug #928599, bug #928869). + + This check had too many false positives. + +* lib: use more pure git-describe output for --version (bug #912209). + + This makes 'emerge --version' info far nicer when using portage-9999. + +* lib: adhere to python package version conventions (bug #926966). + + (Note that this needed fixing even before the change for bug #912209). + +Cleanups: +* cnf: sets: Migrate @golang-rebuild to dev-lang/go (removed from Portage) (bug #919751). + +* src: Drop libc C module. + + This was only used for `find_library` on musl. We've now implemented + an alternative workaround for this. + +* src: Drop linux_reflink C module. + + This is now implemented in pure Python, which also means PyPy can + benefit. + + Testsuite coverage was also improved for this area. + +* Delete compat_coroutine module. + portage-3.0.63 (2024-02-25) --------------
