Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2013-02-28 09:08:58 UTC 
base.eclass is broken by design and exports src_unpack() in every EAPI, making it hard to work with VCS eclasses and is generally a very bad practice.

Please consider dropping the inherit and inlining the necessary logic in cmake-utils_src_prepare(). Dropping EAPI<2 support (it is used just by a few ebuilds) would probably be doable at the same time.

Yes please!
Comment 2 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2013-03-06 07:40:27 UTC 
+1

A testing version of this is in the KDE overlay.
Comment 4 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2013-06-27 18:22:05 UTC 
July is coming up, I guess the last thing to do is to check if any packages inheriting cmake-utils call base_* without explicitly inheriting.

Committed the change last night.
