We are working on a proper explanation targetted to devs of this. I'm
sorry for the inconvenience caused.
How large of a change to the tree will this involve? Is it a small
number of packages that need to be fixed through the ebuilds right now?
will that number grow? Will you notify package maintainers of these
changes?
Apparently not, it's not that the change is complicated but I (and the
rest of the gnome herd) would rather have an upfront information about
any kind of changes to our ebuilds than discovering these through
gentoo-commits...
Jeroen / Gilles : Coming soon. The internal draft was just prepared but
Fabian will be sending it.
For the moment you can find our own documentation here:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/techdocs.xml
Where did you document D -> ED? Can you briefly describe what it does?
See the section "The variables ED and EROOT" on that link. I don't want
to open it up for discussion on this thread though.
I'd also like to know why this cannot be handled by the usual D with
package manager support, this would save a lot of changes to ebuilds
(like the python abi stuff that still has no documentation afaik).
I sincerely want to see progress in the way we handle prefix, python
abis and all the cool stuff that is still in preparation, but let's do
it in a way to makes every dev aware of it (sending a mail to
gentoo-dev-announce for example), thanks.
Thanks for your support on behalf of the Prefix team,
-Jeremy
