-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 The devmanual warns that calling die in a subshell does not work.
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/error-handling/index.html This warning has been obsolete for some time; modern versions of Portage handle die in a subshell just fine. In fact, at least a couple of eclasses rely on this behavior. For example, python-r1 uses subshells created by multiprocessing.eclass to implement parallel "sub-phase" functions, any of which may call die on failure. Are there any objections to removing this warning from the devmanual? Also, I believe there may be a question or two on the recruiting quizzes that would need to be updated. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlG8kQUACgkQC77qH+pIQ6RMcAD/Ub0qkpXi/6tjNC/vHTXr2lLu iprwtszsDnZGLOkmVKcA/R85pTIBT3Udo0Gc2/g2TJo6uzG8ppDbMc9bSHMgQtFf =1qx7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
