Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Pursuant to the recently announced news item, (and many of you probably |
| 4 |
already know), we have ~arch KEYWORDS in many ebuilds. The purpose of |
| 5 |
this is to allow a stable "profile" for each architecture, without letting |
| 6 |
package versions go ridiculously out of date. So, basically, new packages |
| 7 |
will (once the freeze is lifted) and updated versions of current packages |
| 8 |
(with the exception of critical and security updates) will get tagged with |
| 9 |
~arch for the architectures upon which they were previously marked. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
For those of you who are adventurous (yes fans of bleeding edge, I know |
| 12 |
you're there, I can see you), please put: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
(substitute arch for x86, ppc, sparc, sparc64 or alpha, depending on your |
| 17 |
hardware platform) and test away. Please report bugs etc so we can have a |
| 18 |
relatively updated stable profile too :) |
