Portage was and remains the "official" PM (there's some serious political history there if you wish to check the list archives), so until it supports the EAPI (including the two GLEP elements that haven't yet been officially adopted and are still in development in terms of council approval), such ebuilds are very unlikely to be allowed in the official tree. The announcement took some pains to make it quite clear those ebuilds weren't headed for the tree anything like soon, but not being a regular here, you probably missed the subtext. They were quite specific that it was ONLY for the live SVN ebuilds, which are severely discouraged in the tree anyway for QA reasons (snapshots under certain conditions, live ebuilds are usually overlay material only), NOT for ultimate stable candidates, which is by practical trend what the tree is more and more considered to be for as the experimental stuff heads for the overlays. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
