I am sure you are aware that Prefix has two variants: one is
|
| 9 |
prefix-rpath targeting MacOS, Solaris, AIX, Cygwin, Interix and a subset
|
| 10 |
of GNU/Linux; the other is prefix-standalone, targeting GNU/Linux and
|
| 11 |
Android/Linux.[1]
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
For LLVM example, it is prefix-rpath, which hosts its own overlay at
|
| 14 |
repo/proj/prefix.git. Besides LLVM there are other hacks at present in
|
| 15 |
the overlay. But we still keep the ultimate goal of merging prefix.git
|
| 16 |
into gentoo.git.
|

|
| 18 |
What we are discussing in this thread, however, is prefix-standalone, it
|
| 19 |
uses the official gentoo repository without any overlay. It works
|
| 20 |
perfectly for kernel-2.6.26+ and linux-3.2+. So, creating an overlay of
|
| 21 |
2 ebuilds for prefix-standalone is an overkill.
