Ignoring possible semantic issues for the moment,
Please point them so I could fix them properly ^^
I'd be against this simply because it would require the PM to be aware of the current revision of the repository and to transform it into a integer value (trivial for SVN, not so trivial for CVS for example).
You should be able to have a generic framework that just uses what the ebuild needs to get the sources, standardizing the live eclasses will be enough.
Which in turn either means that the PM has to internally support the SCMs or support some new phase functions to extract the revision.
After some discussions with dev-zero, I think we'll need a new phase, possibly trigged by maint, before I was thinking about adding it to sync.
Plus it has similar (unstated) transition issues as GLEP-54, just avoids a new comparison algorithm and the CPV vs. atom issue.
Hmm, give me more informations about your concern. lu -- Luca Barbato Gentoo Council Member Gentoo/linux Gentoo/PPC http://dev.gentoo.org/~lu_zero -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
