The problem is that *all* mips-sources ebuilds do not provide alsa. Only the mips-sources-2.6.* versions do this, and then only if USE="ip30" (Octane users). > If at some point alsa-drivers decides to work, then can you not just > redefine the virtual in the mips profile? Sure, it would be no problem in that case. > Anyways, I see no real point here to prevent the move, however I found > it educational re: alsa-driver :) I'm just worried about folks running 2.4 systems (only Indys at this point) with mips-sources "providing" alsa, but not really. This could get even more tricky because I happen to know somebody is working on an alsa driver for Indy, and it will be for 2.6 only. We're trying really hard to get everything to where we can just get rid of 2.4, but until that time, setting the virtual to mips-sources is technically broken. -Steve -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
