  • [gentoo-dev] [PATCH 0/1] GLEP 68: Allow EAPI 5 dependency specification

    From =?UTF-8?q?Ulrich=20M=C3=BCller?=@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 22 17:10:01 2023
    This was discussed in #gentoo-council a while ago.

    There is no EAPI identification mechanism in metadata.xml, but EAPI 5
    is specified in the top-level profile directory, and it has been
    supported by Portage for 10+ years.

    Find the updated full text of GLEP 68 below, and a diff in the next
    message.

    Abstract
    ========

    This GLEP specifies the format of files used to describe category and package metadata (``metadata.xml``).


    Motivation
    ==========

    At the moment of writing this GLEP, category and package ``metadata.xml`` lacked proper specification. PMS Appendix A [#PMS-A]_ specified that
    the format of this file is beyond its scope, deferring the specification
    to the DTD file.

    The original metadata.dtd file [#METADATA-DTD]_ (the version before cleanups related to this spec) did not serve well as the specification. Due to
    the technical limitations on DTD format, it was both unable to enforce
    the specification fully and explain it in a readable form. Furthermore,
    it

    This applies to the "restrict" attribute which is used with the
    "maintainer", "longdescription", "flag", and "stabilize-allarches"
    elements.
