Hi, developers. |
2 |
|
3 |
Just a quick note: the CPU_FLAGS_X86 conversion of the Gentoo |
4 |
repository is complete now. |
5 |
|
6 |
More specifically: |
7 |
|
8 |
1. all packages (except app-emulation/bochs) use new CPU_FLAGS_X86 |
9 |
flags. Whenever appropriate, the used flags were fixed to match |
10 |
common naming. |
11 |
|
12 |
2. app-emulation/bochs got local USE=3dnow and USE=avx since the flag |
13 |
control support of emulating the two instruction sets rather than using |
14 |
host CPU instruction sets. |
15 |
|
16 |
3. Global definitions of old USE flags were removed to make sure |
17 |
repoman will complain when someone mistakenly tries to use them. This |
18 |
hopefully will help getting overlays in shape. |
19 |
|
20 |
If someone wants a bit of a challenge, I've assembled list of packages |
21 |
potentially using old flags in overlays [1], grouped by layman overlay |
22 |
name. I will probably start mailing the overlay owners or filing bugs |
23 |
myself in a few days, after my initial overlay QA runs are done. |
24 |
|
25 |
At this point, I think we can also start discussing introducing |
26 |
CPU_FLAGS_* for other architectures. |
