What is wrong with "random" or "user"? Should I take "random user" |
| 11 |
personally? Honestly, I have no idea. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Where do you want to draw the line? |
| 14 |
How would you handle library packages shipping binaries? |
| 15 |
Just `rm "${D}"/usr/bin`? |

Right, that was the intent of my mail. |
| 26 |
Not to question some multilib internal stupidity like how to handle |
| 27 |
clashing pkg-config files but to question the approach in common. |
| 28 |
Maybe FatELF would work with this multilib/USE approch w/o cluttering |
| 29 |
the file system [1]. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Multilib: funny clashes all over the tree, partial blessed by FHS. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Emul- packages, frozen, incapable of compiling and adding additional |
| 34 |
stuff - collision avoidance by upstream. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Separated trees/chroots/... to be merged in $PATH et. al. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Is there any consent on how to proceed? |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
I support an slim solution, but as it turns out "architecture |
| 41 |
independent" from FHS is just a lie. Or handled very badly. |

Yeah, did not reinvent it, just want to re-think it's validity. |
