Subject: [gentoo-user] Will profile 17.0 break 3rd party binaries?
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2017 22:42:45 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <p04j15$6l9$1@blaine.gmane.org> (raw)

There are a number of third-party binary executables that I use
regularly on my Gentoo systems.  These are dynamically linked, x86-64,
programs that typically depend on various X11 and Qt/Gtk libraries.
They were either extracted from .rpm/.deb files or distributed as
shell-archive self-installers by their respective vendors.

Is switching to the new 17.0 profile likely to break them?
