I would prefer if eclass way could be extended to packages not using |
47 |
autotools too, otherwise, we will still need emul packages for, for |
48 |
example, qt libs. If that would be possible via eclass, maybe |
49 |
multilib-portage wouldn't be needed but, if not, we will still need it |
50 |
and, then, would be nice if this inclussion for autotools packages |
51 |
wouldn't cause more problems to get the "strong" solution land in the |
52 |
"near" future :/ |
53 |
|
54 |
The simpler solution (eclass) looks fine to me, but it would need to be |
55 |
extended to more packages than autotools based ones to let it replace |
56 |
portage-multilib/emul packages |
