No, an EAPI bump is necessary. Older (post-EAPI) Portage versions do something different, so any ebuild relying upon particular behaviour is already broken. - -- Ciaran McCreesh -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAknQ2dcACgkQ96zL6DUtXhEsJQCg32cZwBakzGI0x7awxYQQLksb GtsAoLNjjnpLcnaPWQjx+V/eJD6YUP71 =lpKW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
