Description Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2014-11-01 17:38:40 UTC
We should also get rid of Perl EAPI=4 packages, since we then can take full advantage of the subslot rebuild mechanism.

No talking here please.
Comment 1 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2014-11-01 19:40:30 UTC
Template text:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be able to make full use of subslot-triggered rebuilds at Perl updates, the Perl team intends to make perl-module.eclass and perl-app.eclass support only
EAPI=5 (and eventually later EAPIs) in the foreseeable future.

Please consider, where applicable,
* bumping the newest version of your package to EAPI=5
* stabilizing an EAPI=5 version
* dropping old versions
to the end that at some point all non-EAPI=5 versions have been removed.

Thank you!

All done and annoying deprecation message added to eclass.
