Hello.

It seems that in eclasses we have two differenct environment variables
with same meaning ESCM and EVCS OFFLINE. Some of eclasses use one and
some another:

find . -type f | xargs grep -l EVCS_OFFLINE
./git-2.eclass
./bzr.eclass

find . -type f | xargs grep -l ESCM_OFFLINE
./darcs.eclass
./cvs.eclass
./mercurial.eclass
./git.eclass
./subversion.eclass

It seems we should have some concusion about what env variable should
be used to prevent downloading of live repo.

Thanks.

I think we agreed on using EVCS_. Quoting ulm:

Coming back to this. As was pointed out in the thread in -dev (almost a
year ago), these variables should better be named EVCS_*, because SCM
is ambiguous with the scheme language. The category is called dev-vcs
too. [1]

Hi,

I would vote for EVCS_OFFLINE as we already agreed in the dev-vcs
discussion on vcs.
