I'd rather see a reporting tool that can scan the tree and expose which packages (latest stable and latest ~arch only) are still on EAPI < 5. That way, developers would understand *where* the attention would be (cat/pkg-ver) and *what* work would need to be done (EAPI 3 -> 5, for example). As a bonus, it could accept an argument as its "less than" search. so `eapi-report 6` would show all packages with an EAPI under 6. That case isn't useful *now*, but it would be going forward and still meets the needs of understanding what and where work needs to be done. I have a 10 day work week coming up soon so I can't work on it immediately, but I wouldn't mind assisting in the creation of this tool. - -- Daniel Campbell - Gentoo Developer OpenPGP Key: 0x1EA055D6 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net fpr: AE03 9064 AE00 053C 270C 1DE4 6F7A 9091 1EA0 55D6 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVzudxAAoJEAEkDpRQOeFwEYsP/iCKVEAWgatC5k4crLEGnmRb 1e29e2RTWTuuQ9OPCNfJK017uFiky7psgFey/0TOB6c0E3onnVwJYIt452tkcI/C y91CfCPB5dAKhz0VG62WTbnUxKszRKgfBYVSd6a5aTfrQuchnmbGuirB+N4rc1Mh usJs2IrhDy8CHMe3P3hCXQ8DE/hGfTt05+ljoLM4pBiouoz2Zlda37uCJHsjkSYu L20imAu/u/w+DHuzmBQlhi7WLFEBaNXe/yck1w3/s4/UYOBOa/mSQ88ao1UfIZ08 QkFjpcnGOs20apVzv4lu/sgJ7GNSS92G5hsS5161TZF/wp+bBqD87vciHlkbANtN UIvQVxzUSKvNflmdmP1NqWKHXszuMQKSzMiBq19fgPd8t72ZwrOe5g2Pcp8lykov GDveUUGN3mqXRilO+RzbqXoQXgNEUxZAS5TzN1+fUNBQj4qajPDVVY1vgWkCA6bA mqF+l5jrbMBc6TmPja6sj8kcoIPRiAYMgmAdtZI5/MV4cIDFAbyJuSWbwcKw8WRz EkirDtqtWzyg1aKAKK9GAZiKlyBxPT/nzCayuyBmTxj0rABwkcOmb1LUIS5HR5kx EW1z/8GUTfIIc1aN/qI/GOiGrZa2H3BVYG3rdJEhjTE4UP8wUwgS3idZ0uKDSMES PLSfQooYoh1onIdfcABs =J28V -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
