Posted: Sat Oct 27, 2012 10:54 pm Post subject: Which version of Portage supports which EAPI? |
|
|
There seems to be no information on it in the documentation.
I'm trying to use some ebuilds that require EAPI=5, but I have no idea which version of Portage I need to upgrade to. |

All ~arch should work with ~portage
All arch should work with portage
Think of Gentoo-stable and Gentoo~current of two releases of kind of different beasts and you will be right!
Eapi5 now in Gentoo~current is the reason why there are less versions of ~portage-2.1.x than usual! |

You will want to use >=sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.30 _________________ "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." - Abraham Lincoln

By the way beware that the old portage release candidates 2.2_* don't support EAPI > 2.
For example my portage-2.2_rc33 doesn't support EAPI greater than 2.
Of course currently you may not find it in the gentoo-portage repository, but just to let you know. |

I'm sure it will, but 2.2 is currently branded alpha. I'd wait until it loses that status... |

FYI it has been like this for years, lots of people are using it and have no problems, including me. I even do not remember when I switched to 2.2, it was so long time ago. _________________ My Gentoo installation notes.

portage-2.2_rc33 is really really old though. They went up to rc100 or something and then went back to alpha1 (currently at alpha142). _________________ Game! - Where the stick is mightier than the sword! |
