I'm around. Went out and bought a few games to kill time with...wound |
| 12 |
up buying some good ones, thus vanishing for a few days to play them |
| 13 |
through. |

I've got updated code for crossdev sitting in the CVS |
| 16 |
(gentoo/users/kumba/crossdev), I just haven't had the inclination to go |
| 17 |
rolling it into a crossdev-0.5 release yet. Likely, I'll add a few |
| 18 |
patches from the bugs I have to it before hand. When this happens, not |
| 19 |
sure. I've still got to try a gcc-3.4 cross-build and see how |
| 20 |
easy/difficult that problem is to beat (I've had reports it doesn't even |
| 21 |
build the bootstrap compiler). |

Remember, crossdev was designed more as a temporary solution to the |
| 24 |
cross-compiler issue in Gentoo. It's intended only as "The duct tape |
| 25 |
solution" until Portage gains some kind of cross-compiler support (which |
| 26 |
needs multi-slot support, which benefits multilib support, yadda, |
| 27 |
yadda). Portage Guys...*hint* *hint* *poke* *poke* *¡pika!* |
