  • Re: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH 00/50] XXXXXX.eclass: drop support for EAPI6

    From Robin H. Johnson@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 27 23:10:01 2024
    There wasn't an introduction message to this series, but I wanted to
    raise the discussion.

    We only JUST got rid of the last EAPI6 ebuilds in the main tree.

    There are overlays that still have EAPI6 ebuilds - and depend on these
    ebuilds.

    When is an expected time for all of those ebuilds to migrate, and how is
    that being communicated?

    If we were removing an eclass that only supports EAPI 6 and is being
    dropped because it's useless, we'd last rite it and give people 30 days
    to move.

    But because the *file* isn't being removed, there is no rule how to do
    it apparently?? :D The obvious answer here is to stick an ewarn in the
    "if EAPI 6" branch at global scope.


    (It's a bit messy when doing dependency calculation. This too is a
    feature, if you think about it.)

    Yes, it's something which has bothered me for a while. When we ratified
    GLEP 83 [0], I wanted to come back to it for handling EAPI support
    deprecation in "important" eclasses but I couldn't figure out a nice
    definition for that and got distracted.

    I actually *do* think we should do something here, but I will note
    pkgcheck will have been warning about use of DeprecatedEapi at least.

    Note that the council deprecated EAPI 6 on 2021-07-11 and banned it
    on 2023-07-11.

    There are overlays that still have EAPI6 ebuilds - and depend on these ebuilds.

    I'd argue that the migration period started with the deprecation
    of EAPI 6, i.e. more than three years ago.
