I dug through some old mailing-list archives and found some threads from gentoo-dev in July-August 2005 about EBUILD_FORMAT: http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org/msg02668.html And here's the post where vapier coined the term EAPI: http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org/msg02692.html It moved over to gentoo-portage-dev later on: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00203.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00207.html Thanks, Donnie -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
