• [gentoo-dev] RFC: check A's size in go-module.eclass

    From Florian Schmaus@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 11 12:10:01 2022
    This is a first suggestion in an effort to reach a compromise that
    allows EGO_SUM to be un-depracted.

    I have decided to check the size of A, instead of counting the entries
    in EGO_SUM, because that seemed more sensible given that as A's size
    caused functional issues in the past (bug #719202 [1]).

    I would suggest we simply add a comment to warn ebuild developers that
    some unknown large number of modules may cause build failures. If/when
    the ebuild starts to fail, they will know they went over the limit and
    will have to start collapsing files into tarballs.
