+This section is based on

+The ultimate guide to EAPI 8 by Michał Górny.
+
+
+
+
+
+EAPI 8 tree layout
+
+
+
+ Less strict naming rules for updates directory
+
+
+Up to EAPI 7, the files in the profiles/updates directory had to
+follow strict naming by quarters like 2Q-2021, indicating the
+quarter and the year when they were added. Such a choice of name had the
+side effect that lexical sorting of filenames was unsuitable.
+
+
+
+In EAPI 8, the naming requirement is removed. Eventually, this will allow
+switching to a more convenient scheme sorted by year. Different lengths
+of time periods will also be possible.
+
+
+
+Note that this change actually requires changing the repository EAPI
+(found in profiles/eapi), so it will not affect Gentoo for at least
+the next two years.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+EAPI 8 ebuild format
+
+
+
+ Bash version is now 5.0
+
+
+The Bash version used for ebuilds is changed from 4.2 to 5.0. This means
+not only that ebuilds are now permitted to use features provided by the new
+Bash version but also the BASH_COMPAT value used for the ebuild
+environment is updated, switching the shell behaviour.
+
+
+
+The only really relevant difference in behaviour is:
+
+
+
+
+
+Quotes are now removed from the RHS argument of a
+"${var/.../"..."}" substitution:
+
+
+
+var=foo
+echo "${var/foo/"bar"}"
+
+
+
+The above snippet yields "bar" in Bash 4.2 but just bar
+in 4.3+.
+
+
+
+
+
+Potentially interesting new features include:
+
+
+
+
+
+Negative subscripts can now be used to set and unset array elements
+(Bash 4.3+):
+
+
+
+$ foo=( 1 2 3 )
+$ foo[-1]=4
+$ unset 'foo[-2]'
+$ declare -p foo
+declare -a foo=([0]="1" [2]="4")
+
+
+
+
+
+Nameref variables are introduced that work as references to other
+variables (4.3+):
+
+
+
+$ foo=( 1 2 3 )
+$ declare -n bar=foo
+$ echo "${bar[@]}"
+1 2 3
+$ bar[0]=4
+$ echo "${foo[@]}"
+4 2 3
+$ declare -n baz=foo[1]
+$ echo "${baz}"
+2
+$ baz=100
+$ echo "${bar[@]}"
+4 100 3
+
+
+
+
+
+The [[ -v ... ]] test operator can be used with array indices
+to test for array elements being set (4.3+). The two following lines
+are now equivalent:
+
+
+
+[[ -n ${foo[3]+1} ]]
+[[ -v foo[3] ]]
+
+
+
+
+mapfile (AKA readarray) now accepts a delimiter via
+-d, with a -t option to strip it from read data
+(Bash 4.4+). The two following solutions to grab output from
+find(1) are now equivalent:
+
+
+
+# old solution
+local x files=()
+while read -d '' -r x; do
+ files+=( "${x}" )
+done (find -print0)
+
+# new solution
+local files=()
+mapfile -d '' -t files (find -print0)
+
+
+
+
+
+A new set of transformations is available via ${foo@...}
+parameter expansion (4.4+), e.g. to print a value with necessary
+quoting:
+
+
+
+$ var="foo 'bar' baz"
+$ echo "${var@Q}"
+'foo '\''bar'\'' baz'
+
+
+
+For more details, see: info bash or the
+https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Shell-Parameter-Expansion.html;>
+Bash reference manual.
+
+
+
+
+local - can be used to limit single-letter (mangled via
+set) shell option changes to the scope of the function,

+EAPI=7
+
+
+Terminology
+
+Documents may use the following terms to better describe dependency and
installation targets.
+
+
+ CHOST
+ The system that will be running the installed package.
+
+
+ CBUILD
+ The system used to build packages. When not cross-compiling,
CBUILD == CHOST.
+
+
+ CTARGET
+ Used in certain cross-compliations, often empty value.
+
+
+
+
+
+Variables
+
+
+
+ PORTDIR and ECLASSDIR are removed
+ PORTDIR and ECLASSDIR are no longer defined
and cannot be used
+ in ebuilds to access these directories.
+
+
+ DESTTREE and INSDESTTREE are removed
+ The unintended exported variables PORTDIR and
ECLASSDIR
+ cannot be used in ebuilds to manipulate installation paths.
+ Use into or insinto, respectively, instead.
+
+
+ D, ED, ROOT, and EROOT
modified
+ These variables no longer contain a trailing slash with
EAPI=7.
+
+
+ BDEPEND addded
+
+ Previously, all build-time tools and libraries went
into the DEPEND.
+ Now, built-time dependencies are split into
DEPEND and BDEPEND.
+ The difference is simply that BDEPEND are
dependencies to be executed on the CBUILD.
+ DEPEND remains for other dependencies, such as
libraries, for the CHOST.
+ This improves the cross-compliation support.
+
+
+
+ BROOT added
+ BROOT is the absolute path to the root directory,
including any prefix, containing build
+ dependencies satisfied by BDEPEND, typically executable build
tools.
+
+
+ SYSROOT and ESYSROOT added
+ SYSROOT is the location of where dependencies in
DEPEND are installed.
+ ESYSROOT is SYSROOT with EPREFIX appended.
+
+
+
+ ENV_UNSET added
+ A whitespace delimited list of variables to be removed from
the build environment.
+
+
+
+
+
+Metadata
+
+
+
+ Empty groupings are banned
+ Groupings which are empty, such as DEPEND="|| (
${empty_var} )" will now generate an error.
+ Furthermore, conditions within groupings are more strictly
enforced.
+ Eg. REQUIRED_USE="|| ( foo? ( bar ) baz? ( zoinks )"
would previously work with USE="-a -b" now requires
+ either USE="foo bar" or USE="baz zoinks".
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Profiles
+
+
+
+ package.provided banned
+ Profiles may no longer contain a package.provided
file with EAPI=7.
+
+
+
+
+
+Helpers
+
+
+
+ dohtml banned
+
+ The dohtml helper has been banned with
EAPI=7.
+
+
+
+ dolib and libopts banned
+
+ The dolib helper and the associated
libopts have been banned with EAPI=7.
+
+
+
+ has_version and best_version changes
+
+ has_version and best_version now support
an optional switch
+ to determine which type of dependencies to check.
+
+
+ -r (the default) will check
runtime dependencies (RDEPEND)
+ -d will check target build-time
dependencies (DEPEND)
+ -b will check host build-time
dependencies (BDEPEND)
+
+
+
+ Version manipulation and comparision commands
+
+ EAPI=7 introduced three

Replace the nonfatal example from a poor programming practice (nonfatal
dodoc) to a code collecting logs for test failures. Based on an old
version of sys-apps/paludis.
