Hello, for the planned media-libs/mesa-7.11 stabilization, the default radeon r600 driver changes from classic to gallium. Users who upgrade from mesa-7.10 will not be switched automatically. I promised in http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_225e87fe47a62b0591fb46ba4054798f.xml to make a news item when that happens.
Question is, can I put the EAPI 2 USE conditional "media-libs/mesa[video_cards_radeon]" in Display-If-Installed: or not? I don't find any explicit mentioning. GLEP 42 (which predates EAPI 2) just says "a dependency atom". Possible answers: 1. If an EAPI is approved for use in the portage tree, its USE syntax can also be used for news items. 2. Council must approve EAPIs for news items 3. A new GLEP or new version of the News-Item-Format is necessary Your thoughts? Am I missing something? Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn
