I would say that is a bad idea. While a good number of the ~x86 ebuilds are revision bumps that have not been sufficiently tested, you will find some that won't compile (although it is my opinion that those should be in package.mask), and it would make the installation a real headache if you have to worry about emerge failing every couple of packages. I recommend just using x86 packages, and then manually upgrading to ~x86 packages if you need it. -- Chad Huneycutt chadh@gentoo.org -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
