How does it provide more code sharing than the existing system? Previously I could put code I wanted shared: 1) In a global eclass, which means any ebuild in the tree can likely use it 2) In a pkg eblit Under the new system I can put the code: 1) In a global eclass, any ebuild can likely use it 2) In a per-package eclass, only one package can use it 3) In a pkg eblit, only one package can use it Wouldn't taking code from a global eclass and moving it to a per-package eclass limit code re-use? -A > > Paweł > >
