> Implementation: > Implementation would be provided by build system eclasses [snip] > - replace FEATURES with FEATURES_DEBUG FEATURES are package-manager implemented, above the bash level where eclasses are parsed and executed, thus for portage, at the python level. As such, neither /etc/portage/env nor eclasses can effectively deal with FEATURES in general, tho there are a few specific exceptions that do happen to be implemented at the bash level. Thus, your GLEP (Gentoo Linux Enhancement Proposal) needs to specifically address this problem, either stating that this FEATURE can be implemented 100% at the bash/eclass level with details, or omitting/changing the FEATURE portion so it will work at the bash/eclass level, or outlining specifically what the package manager implementation must be. (Of course, if it's the latter, it will need to be an official GLEP, and you'll have three separate package managers and their developers to push the proposal thru to at least to general agreement, or the council will almost certainly reject the GLEP, if it gets even that far.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
