Isn't eselect still ~amd64? This is probably one of the reasons. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
$earch app-admin/eselect |
| 17 |
eselect-0.9.6[0]: |
| 18 |
eselect-1.0_rc1[0]: |
| 19 |
eselect-1.0_rc2[0]: |
| 20 |
eselect-1.0[0]: ~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~m68k ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~s390 ~sh ~sparc ~x86 |

Yes... nothing stable on any arch. Only ~arch for everything. (earch is |
| 23 |
a script I picked up on the dev list. As you can see, it lists the |
| 24 |
versions of a package [and the slot, 0 above as eselect is unslotted] with |
| 25 |
the associated arch keywording.) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Those running the default multilib amd64 profiles who've upgraded gcc |
| 28 |
since they've merged eselect are likely aware of another issue as well. |
| 29 |
eselect compiler doesn't yet properly manage the 32-bit compiler |
| 30 |
selection, when gcc is upgraded, so if the upgrade is in the same slot (as |
| 31 |
is the case every time we upgrade the weekly gcc-4.1 cvs snapshots, for |
| 32 |
those running it), the 32-bit compiler ends up pointing at the previous |
| 33 |
version for that slot, which no longer exists! eselect compiler must be |
| 34 |
run manually to switch to the new 32-bit gcc. Likewise, the old compiler |
| 35 |
profile file isn't removed when the old gcc is unmerged, so eselect |
| 36 |
continues to list stale gcc versions as choices until the associated |
| 37 |
profile is removed manually. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Folks like me that run a ~arch system should expect such less than smooth |
| 40 |
operation, from time to time, and in fact many of us enjoy the challenge |
| 41 |
(I definitely do), so it's no big deal, even if it /does/ get slightly |
| 42 |
frustrating from time to time. It's all in the game! |
