Well, I've been fighting with GRP building for two days and haven't figured |
| 5 |
out why xfree is suddenly being merged for amd64. We haven't used xfree |
| 6 |
since before 2004.1. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
So I'm in a catch 22 now. I can't figure out what's causing xfree to merge, |
| 9 |
even with the help of wolf3102 and roger55 (thanks for the help guys). So I |
| 10 |
figured I'd just allow it to merge and remove the binary tarballs when it was |
| 11 |
done. But when I allow it to merge, some of the patches are failing to apply |
| 12 |
(and thus the ebuild fails). Compound that with the fact that either the |
| 13 |
digests for xfree 4.3.0-r6 are screwed up in portage or the patch tarballs in |
| 14 |
spyderous' devspace have changed. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Frankly, I'm tired of fooling with it when I don't know of a single amd64 user |
| 17 |
who uses GRP. The deadline for 2004.2 is only hours away and GRP is the only |
| 18 |
thing that isn't complete. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
So, I'm making an executive decision for my arch. GRP isn't going to be |
| 21 |
available for amd64 in time for the 2004.2 release. If someone complains, |
| 22 |
I'll get something out after the release, but I don't expect to hear anything |
| 23 |
from users. Hell, low-end amd64 machines can bootstrap in under an hour. :-) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Later! |
