As far as I know, the only time you need to do a rev bump and reset to unstable is if you change the files that are installed by the package.
So, as far as I know, unless you are migrating to an EAPI that is not stable or changing the files that are installed by the package, it is not necessary to do a rev bump just for changing the EAPI as long as you make sure that the ebuild emerges fine under the new EAPI. - -- William Hubbs gentoo accessibility team lead willi...@gentoo.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkoNgNcACgkQblQW9DDEZTgorACdGfiXec4JUIC3UJDL/sGctbEi FpwAn3UxUOjxuQUxl0w5S95M271+306Q =jinO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
