For me, one problem with merging amd64 and x86 the way that the mips folks handle their various flavors is the not-so-minor fact that I have no idea how mips does whatever magic they do to make things work, so all I can do right now is say "That sounds like a good idea in principle, but, gosh, it sounds awfully hard!" Perhaps this discussion might actually go somewhere useful if people could be pointed to how one makes this sort of thing work in practice? I'm more than happy to read the fine manual, once I know which one that is.... -g2boojum- --=20 Grant Goodyear=09 Gentoo Developer g2boojum@gentoo.org http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76 --UTZ8bGhNySVQ9LYl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDFdLEptxxUuD2W3YRAr8/AJ4k5rzx/qskGzVbHx4idQvMocZ1RgCfQHDM p5hKorc853j1TS2JCiyx04o= =t+9k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --UTZ8bGhNySVQ9LYl-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
