Since some people have been asking about this... Here's how I'd see upstream revision awareness being added to the -scm proposal.
* add src_fetch_extra or whatever to avoid doing the fetches in src_unpack. * add pkg_scm_info. It outputs a string containing no spaces. * When installing an scm package with suitable EAPI to VDB / exndbam, rewrite the scm version to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * When doing a pretend install, consider reinstalling any scm package that was installed more than $user_option ago, and mark it as "might reinstall". * When updating an scm package, do src_fetch_extra then pkg_scm_info. At user option, if the pkg_scm_info value hasn't changed and it's a reinstall, skip reinstalling. * At user option, and not by default, do the fetch / info stage *before* showing the "this is what we'll install" list. -- Ciaran McCreesh
