Marking as a duplicate of a WONTFIX bug is quite rude.
Did you actually *read* the duped bug before jumping to conclusions? It says there that EAPI=6 introduces similar functionality and so the Gnome team will rely on that instead of adding support for a now-deprecated feature. In a nutshell, gnome-builder *will* get epatch support when: 1) the gnome2 eclass supports EAPI=6 (see bug #571378) 2) gnome-builder ebuild is migrated to EAPI=6 Both of which should not take long, and I'm sure the team could use help with testing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 413299 ***
