1 I finally had a few free cycles, so I fixed up the eselect-compiler
2 ebuild to better handle the transition from gcc-config and updated
3 toolchain.eclass to better work with multilib. I've had a bunch of
4 help from the amd64 devs/testers/users this past week testing it out,
5 and I think it's ready to be removed from package.mask sometime soon
6 (next week). Before that happens, I'd like to get some feedback from
7 a broader test base, so if you have some time and aren't using
8 eselect-compiler yet, I'd appreciate your testing. All you need to
9 do is add the following to /etc/portage/package.unmask:
10
11 app-admin/eselect-conmpiler
12 sys-devel/gcc-config
13
14 then just update gcc-config:
15 $ emerge -uv --oneshot sys-devel/gcc-config
16
17 gcc-config is just a wrapper which takes the same syntax as the older
18 gcc-configs and makes the appropriate call to eselect-compiler.

20 Please report any bugs you find in bugzilla and assign them directly
21 to me (eradicator@g.o).
22
23 Also, if you've been using eselect-compiler, you may have an issue
24 where your profiles don't get removed from /etc/eselect/compiler when
25 you unmerge gcc. This problem is fixed now for future installs, but
26 you'll have to manually remove the file when you unmerge any gcc that
27 is on your system now.

29 Thanks,
