Hi together, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
as announced in a previous mail, i created a fork of portage, which has support to create 32bit libs |
| 4 |
during compile phase for 64bit platforms (currently amd64 tested, ppc64 untested). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
In short, it does execute every src_* phase twice with keeping a workdir for every ABI and saving |
| 7 |
some default environment vars (like *FLAGS). Since the current ABI is the last one in this order, |
| 8 |
the 64bit phase will overwrite everthing from 32bit phase except those parts, which have a different |
| 9 |
install location, so mostly libs, which go in lib32 instead of lib64. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
A current ebuild and docs for using it are currently in the portage-multilib branch of the multilib |
| 12 |
overlay. |
| 13 |
|

I asked zmedico about inclusion into the main svn tree of portage, but he requested a council ok |
| 15 |
before he would be accepting it. So this is my request for discussion and ok (in tomorrows or the |
| 16 |
following meeting) from the council. |
