Versioned APIs are made to have incompatible changes. What do you like to see? Someone dropping all usages of that eclass from all ebuilds which are using it so that the maintainer can bump without thinking? I agree with you later statement that the eclasses have been announced to be a great solution when using autotools based packages, and dropping it now means going back to the old. But the changes needed are just straight forward, drop the eclass and use the default functions of EAPI=6. Plus the autotools.eclass when you need to run autoreconf and friends. > While I agree we should move away from those eclasses, the "I > decided to throw the crap at other developers with eapi6 without > deprecation period" is a bit hard to grasp. Esp. when these > eclasses were advertised as the way to go not so long ago... > I don't really understand what deprecation you like to see? We cannot use EAPI=6 right now and when it starts to exist, nothing will be broken. So you have some to time to adopt your thinking until you write your first ebuild in EAPI=6. At which particular point do you seen problems coming up? What do you think will make maintainers struggle with that change?
