I’m still working on it, myself. Various problems. Nothing I won’t be |
29 |
able to figure out. My list of things to build ~amd64 instead of amd64 |
30 |
is growing a bit, for instance. Had to fix one of my overlay |
31 |
ebuilds. Etc. Removed some 32-bit stuff at least temporarily. I do not |
32 |
use 32-bit stuff very often. |
33 |
|
34 |
The main problem at this case is emerge wanting to install libav |
35 |
despite that I’m set up for ffmpeg. These things happen. |

At least if you use emerge as your package manager, it’s probably safe |
38 |
to go ahead and uninstall the emul packages, if you haven’t. The |
39 |
binaries will stay in place until you build the replacements. |
