Hello, I'd like to use user_patch with baselayout. It allows me distribute updates to lot machines, but baselayout missing EAPI. As I checked funtoo, it does use EAPI=4. Is any reason to not use EAPI=4 or 5? Thank you Reproducible: Always

It's only in eutils.eclass which is not related to EAPI. > > > happen naturally with version bumps, next version might or might not use > > EAPI=4 or 5 > > but it shouldn't be a problem even if it's left at 0 > > What problems could eventually cause simply enabling EAPI=4 or 5? None. What's the reasons for jumping the gun now?

src_prepare is available in newer EAPIs; in older you need to use src_unpack.
