[gentoo-dev] Marking packages ~amd64 (or amd64) and no-multilib

[Chris Gianelloni]

First off, I'd like to apologize for cross-posting this, but I've been
pestered by this enough recently to want to try to reach as much of the
developer pool as possible.

If you add any amd64 KEYWORDS to *any* packages in the tree, make sure
you've updated your profiles directory before doing your repoman scan.
The profiles.desc file now lists default-linux/amd64/2006.0/no-multilib
as a valid profile.  This means if you're committing something that
requires 32-bit libraries, you *MUST* mask the package in
default-linux/amd64/2006.0/no-multilib/package.mask *before* doing your
commit.  This is like the 10th time in the past few weeks that I've been
contacted directly to fix broken masks in other people's packages.

It's pretty simple.  If it uses ABI=x86 or any emul-linux-x86-*
packages, then it needs to be masked.

Over and out.
