26 A complete set of packages from emul-linux-x86-xlibs has been committed
27 to the 'multilib' branch of X11 overlay for testing.
28
29 So, if you're using live xorg and would like to test this, you should:
30
31 $ cd /var/lib/layman/x11 # or any other location
32 $ git checkout multilib
33 $ emerge -1v emul-linux-x86-xlibs
34
35 It shall pull in -r1 version which replaces the bundled libraries with
36 a bunch of multilib package dependencies.
