Description Brian Harring (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-08-24 10:08:11 UTC
We never locked down the phases MERGE_TYPE were available during; src_* technically is valid right now, although I've seen no such usage.

Offhand, pkg_setup, pkg_{pre,post}* come to mind; I'm wary of it being available in pkg_pretend since I could see an ebuild author blocking merging something as a binpkg via it (while that's insane, folks due insane shit in ebuilds, no interest in enabling the more special usages).

Thoughts/comments?  I'd prefer this to be retroactive for EAPI4, although it depends on the fallout- likely none, but still.

Yes we did.
It's legal in pkg_*: <http://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/pms/4/pms.html#x1-119002>

See bug 347351 comment #1 on why the variable can be useful in pkg_pretend().

One of these days I'm going to figure out why my ability to search pms rendered doc sucks oh-so-very-much.

pkg_config for MERGE_TYPE (same for pkg_info) is kind of redundant, unless it's mandated we track that level of info (vs tracking the repo it originated from)...

Er, in pkg_config and pkg_info as well?
Comment 4 Ciaran McCreesh 2011-08-24 17:51:29 UTC
We need to refactor PMS to have some classification of phases so we can stop saying pkg_*... "Source phases", "Install phases", "Uninstall phases", "Special Installed phases", "Special Not Installed phases" or something.

No progress since 2011.
Feel free to reopen with a patch attached.
