I see nothing about the current problem that merits the fooling around with the ebuild extension. I've listened to and considered all the arguments that have been made, and I still stand by my opinion that it an unclean solution (meaning, we don't need to rehash those arguments again here). Bottom line, we (everyone who has been on this discussion from the beginning) disagree. Just as we did a year ago. Standing steadfast on the filename extension just means that all the version format problems that you're trying to solve are going to stand blocked because of it. I think it makes far more sense to work towards agreeing on a solution rather than restating the same arguments every 6 months and reaching the same impasse. -- Arun
