Any chance someone could put together an ebuild for earch so those of us |
47 |
who missed it on the dev list can install it? While I realize I could |
48 |
go digging through ebuilds one by one to see what's x86 and ~amd64, it |
49 |
would be easier to just have a script pull out that info for me. I'd |
50 |
like to help wherever I can in getting x86/~amd64 stuff tested and fixed. |
