Please refer to the html documentation | [1] for addition information about the experimental EAPI extensions | which are summarized here: | | * The 'doman' helper function recognizes language codes in man page | source files, and uses them to generate an appropriate | installation path. | | * Dependency atoms can be constrained to match specific USE flag | states, including USE conditional expressions embedded within | the atoms themselves. | | * The old src_compile phase function is split into separate | src_configure and src_compile fuctions. | | * Default phase function implementations for the current EAPI are | accessible via a function having a name that begins with default_ | and ends with the respective phase function name. | | * Default phase function implementations for older EAPIs are | accessible via functions having names that start with 'eapi', | followed by the EAPI value. | | * The default phase function implementation for the currently | executing phase is accessible as a function named 'default'. | | In addition to the above extensions, I've received a patch for | SRC_URI arrows [2] that I plan to review but haven't had time yet. | Please file bugs for any additional features that you'd like to add | and mark them as blockers of bug 174380 [3]. | | Thanks, | Zac | | [1] | http://dev.gentoo.org/~zmedico/portage/doc/portage.html#package-ebuild-eapi | [2] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177863 | [3] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174380 - -- Regards, Jorge Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) - jmbsvicetto at gentoo dot org Gentoo- forums / Userrel / SPARC / KDE -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkizD/sACgkQcAWygvVEyAKb6ACfd3ODwtS0LzGyblGdvsfnXCkn xuMAn0FwJV6C0sTY5uFYp/OmSLmbrihb =kWTD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
