EAPI 1 is entirely specified in terms of a diff against EAPI 0. Checking every part that's changed before releasing an EAPI 1 package manager is the least any responsible person would do. That they would release a version without doing such basic tests shows you just how much they care about Gentoo... > Assuming that Ciaranm isn't just lying knowingly it's just plainly > rude, otherwise it is pure malice. What, asking the pkgcore people to test their code before releasing a version that claims to support EAPI 1 but actually doesn't, forcing people to avoid using some of EAPI 1 to avoid breaking pkgcore, is malice? The whole "EAPI lets us do upgrades cleanly" process is broken when people release a package manager that claims to support a certain EAPI but doesn't. If pkgcore had any actual users we'd have to consider banning EAPI 1 in the tree and releasing EAPI 2 as being identical to EAPI 1 just to work around this. -- Ciaran McCreesh
