1 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.
