ebuild-writing/bundled-dependencies: new section

Open thesamesam opened this issue 3 months ago • 4 comments

I've tried to faithfully port the wiki page [0] to the devmanual in this commit, and intend to change the contents as required in followups, to allow easier comparison and to retain provenance.

[0] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Why_not_bundle_dependencies

Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/300625


~Note: I'm looking for review of the formatting and porting to the devmanual for now, not whether we should add/adjust content etc (which I will do once the foundation is OK).~

How's it looking now? OK to proceed to content review? And do we want to commit this as-is, or review the content here? Either is fine with me. I guess reviewing the content here is easier because you can comment on the full diff more easily.

What I don't want to do, however, is squash any content fixes into the first commit.

I'd say we should continue with content review here.

Let me know when it looks OK and I'll move onto content (I don't want to try fix existing style issues in the first commit once I started that, as cherry-picking that will be hell).

Thank you! The quick reviews are appreciated, it helps a lot with momentum and motivation.
