Bug 687290 – vcs-snapshot.eclass: Support EAPI="7"

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2019-06-03 16:35:10 UTC]

vcs-snapshot.eclass defines only one function, vcs-snapshot_src_unpack(), which seems to work with EAPI="7".

What's the use for it?  Most of the uses so far are mistakes.

I use it in a package which uses github snapshots.
Alternatively I would need to define custom src_unpack():

src_unpack() {
    unpack ${P}.tar.gz
    mv ${PN}-* ${P} || die
}

You should fix S.  GitHub archives are entirely predictable these days.
