Subject: | [gentoo-alt] [PREFIX] Removal of ~{mips,ia64}-linux keywords from the tree |

1 | Hi all, |
2 | As we speak I am removing the above mentioned keywords from the tree. |
3 | The dropped support of these two platforms is for a couple reasons: |
4 | a) lack of dev manpower |
5 | b) lack of dev machines to maintain/test the entire ARCH properly |
6 | c) lack of user interest, seen at [1] & [2] (same thread really) |
7 | |
8 | If you would like to see these platforms back in the prefix tree, we |
9 | encourage you to get involved via bugzilla, this mailing list, irc, and |
10 | eventually even become a real Gentoo developer! =) |
11 | |
12 | Thanks, |
13 | Jeremy |
