EAPI 1 is entirely specified in terms of a diff against EAPI 0.
That doesn't have a complete definition by itself.
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...
Again smearing without substance.
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?
Saying that w/out giving any substance? Sure!
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.
Apparently those users do not see the problem, you do, help those blind
people.
