http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317091#c4 suggest you can work |
| 20 |
with upstream. is this possible ? the prefix team has done an amazing |
| 21 |
job so far and i think the best solution is to try to work with upstream |
| 22 |
so there are minimal differences between upstream and gx86 and prefix. i |
| 23 |
dont think you want a python-prefix, seems like alot of work. |
