Hey everyone,
I've just added a new kit called lang-kit, which is a kit for all programming languages that do not have their own kit. This includes mono, fsharp, node.js, tcl-tk, lua, go, erlang and associated categories, plus all of dev-lang that doesn't end up in its own kit. Lang-kit should be appearing within the next hour after your next ego sync. This kit was created to address a nodejs upgrade issue that is causing some issues in the tree and will allow us to lock-in node.js which is getting frequently updated by gentoo upstream.
Regards,
Daniel
Hi All,
ego-2.2.0 has been released, and is an important update, and will be appearing in meta-repo soon.
New functionality has been added to help you view kit configuration. To view your current kit settings, type:
# ego kit status
This will display your current kit settings, as well as their stability level. The stability level is set by Funtoo and lets you know if you are running something we consider 'stable' or not. We recommend that all our users use kits that have a 'prime' stability level. Note that this is different than the kit having 'prime' in its name! When I create a kit, I may call it 1.1-prime if the goal is to make it production-quality, but the moment it is created, it is still considered 'dev' (developers only) status. Type "man ego-kit" for more information on this.
It is now also possible to view a similar listing, but one that displays ALL available kits and their stability levels, by typing:
# ego kit list
This new release of ego also includes a host of other improvements, such as improvements to the "ego doc" MediaWiki parser.
Enjoy, Daniel
