In Portage tree we have "0" (default) and "1". There are others in external projects, for example "prefix" (in Gentoo/Alt:Prefix) or "paludis-1" (used in paludis repositories). > Where is the detailed definition of those EAPI's? "0", "1" and any further official EAPI are defined in PMS. There's a svn repository at http://svn.repogirl.net/pms > How can we produce a new EAPI?

A current example: most (or lots...) ebuilds in the tree don't need EAPI="1" and it's pointless to migrate all of them. We can switch EAPI on an as needed basis. > Other than that we can only have one working EAPI which all package managers > conforms to. Read above, and other discussions. That's also pointless because we don't need to force all third party overlays to upgrade EAPI everytime we have a new one... -- Santiago M.
