Please excuse my ignorance if this is a naive comment or has been |
| 2 |
brought up before. With all the non amd processors now with 64bit |
| 3 |
support. amd64 as a keyword seems a bit odd and off maybe. |

What's the possibility of switching amd64 to x86_64? |

Unless the work to do that is greater than the value of the change. |

I was thinking if portage could be updated to see both as the same arch. |
| 10 |
Then we could transition ebuilds at their own pace. No massive changes |
| 11 |
to tree. |

Not sure how it would play with like |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
use amd64, if statements, etc |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Anyway just a thought. Not one of any importance to me. So feel free to |
| 18 |
bash the idea to hell :) Plz not me, I am doing a good job on my own of |
| 19 |
writing my own ticket to hell ;) |
