In eclasses there's often use for outputting QA warnings for ebuild authors (at least in java and python could immediately make use of this). Currently Portage has eqawarn available but it's considered internal. Hopefully eqawarn finds it's way to the next EAPI but in the mean while do we want:
1) Do a wrapper like attached to eutils.eclass 2) Use whatever e* function that seems most appropriate (for example einfo when it's common so user LOGging setups don't get too much noise) 3) Have a speedy next EAPI if we can find more stuff like this to bundle Regards, Petteri
