Personally I don't think mgorny "broke a provider on purpose", he should |
26 |
have released it hardmasked, but thinking he wanted to break testing on |
27 |
purpose looks excessive to me. Also, most of that committed stuff was |
28 |
tested for some time in x11 overlay, no? (not sure if probably freetype |
29 |
was missed by some error, but clearly the transition to the eclasses |
30 |
providing native multilib were tested "on purpose" in that overlay |
31 |
before moving to the tree). |
32 |
|
33 |
About PM-solution... I can't remember how many years we are waiting it |
34 |
for being approved, and neither remember what was blocking it for |
35 |
inclusion in eapi5 (as that threads usually end up being fairly long and |
36 |
ending with blockers like PMS documentation changes and so :( ) |
37 |
|
38 |
I also remember this "conflict" between portage-multilib and eclasses |
39 |
ways were discussed some weeks ago here (I thought specially between |
40 |
mgorny and... aballier?) |
