Subject: [gentoo-amd64] compiler-config 2.0: request for help

1 Compiler-config is pretty much 98% done, but I haven't had time to work
2 on it these past few weeks because I'm in mid semester crunch mode. I
3 was hoping to get it done before school got busy, but that's not going
4 to happen. I'd like to solicit some help finishing it up, and since
5 most of the remaining issues are pertinent to multilib toolchains, I
6 figured it'd be best to try here than -dev.
7
8 The remaining issues before release are:
9
10 Fixup the migration code to intelligently choose the correct profile.
11 Currently, it just deletes all the ones installed by toolchain.eclass,
12 converts the gcc-config-1.X profiles (so it knows the profile names) and
13 activates the one corresponding to the old profile. This isn't so great
14 on multilib systems because it destroys the alternative target profiles
15 (like i686 in our case). Additionally, the migration script should
16 activate profiles for the alternative targets.
17
18 toolchain.eclass needs to be updated to properly set the new profile for
19 all targets of the toolchain, not just the current one.
20
21 the eselect module could do with some cleanup... especially user
22 feedback.
23
24 Any help would be greatly appreciated... especially since I was hoping
25 to get this done in time for use in 2006.0, then the corresponding
26 binutils tool for 2006.1.

28 Thanks,
29 Jeremy
