Hello, everyone. |
2 |
|
3 |
I would like to gladly announce that the gx86-multilib project has |
4 |
finally reached the level of maturity allowing us to aim for stable |
5 |
amd64. The few blockers left can be fixed with a single commit |
6 |
at the time of the switch, so we'd like to set up the final date |
7 |
as 2015-03-29, that is two weeks from now. |
8 |
|
9 |
This day, the emul-linux-x86 packages will be lastrited, and abi_x86_32 |
10 |
USE flags will be stable-unmasked on all packages. The users will be |
11 |
given a news item explaining how to migrate the existing systems |
12 |
and how to use the new system. |
13 |
|
14 |
This also means that packages in all repositories that haven't updated |
15 |
their dependencies yet will become broken and can cause terrible |
16 |
blockers. Therefore, please seriously consider updating (or masking) |
17 |
your ebuilds. However, after the switch, the dependencies will be much |
18 |
easier to write. |
19 |
|
20 |
If possible, please give the no-emul-linux-x86 sub-profiles some more |
21 |
testing. Please note that you will likely want to ensure that you are |
22 |
using the newest Portage version available before the upgrade, and you |
23 |
may need to unmerge the emul-linux-x86 packages manually. |
