I would like to request the following to be included in EAPI 3, as
preparation for more Prefix friendly ebuilds compatible with gentoo-x86:
- The variable EPREFIX to be set in all phases, and at all times.
Because this is a preparation stage, EPREFIX is just set and
intialised to the empty string.
- The variable ED, available in src_install, pkg_preinst and
pkg_postinst, and set to ${D}${EPREFIX}.
- The variable EROOT, available in pkg_*[1], set to ${ROOT}${EPREFIX}.
[1] this is copied from PMS, Table 11.1, in general, EROOT needs to be
available where currently ROOT is.
