Depends on the definition: |
| 17 |
x86: "Gentoo Linux" |
| 18 |
x86-linux: "non-prefixed Gentoo on any Linux" |
| 19 |
x86+linux: "Gentoo Prefix on any Linux" |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The *+* is only because there is non-Prefix *-fbsd already. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
And "Gentoo Linux" != "non-prefixed Gentoo on any Linux" != "Gentoo |
| 24 |
Prefix on any Linux" |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The problem is how to distinguish |
| 27 |
between "non-prefixed Gentoo on FreeBSD" (keyword "*-fbsd") |
| 28 |
and "Gentoo Prefix on FreeBSD" (keyword "*-fbsd" in Prefix ATM) |

Agreed. |

Ok with me eventually to indicate prefix-awareness, but it does not fix |
| 40 |
the *-fbsd (prefix <> non-prefix) problem, as they still would share the |
| 41 |
same keyword. |
