No need to talk about 'slacker archs' since we are REALLY talking about |
| 22 |
a 'slacker arch' called mips. I've given up hope long time ago, leaving |
| 23 |
ebuilds behind with KEYWORDS="mips" since opening bugs seems useless and |
| 24 |
maintaining them is too much work (the target of stabilization or |
| 25 |
keywording changes many times before the bug is finally touched) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Mainly, talking about categories (yes, categories, no need to mention |
| 28 |
single ebuilds at this point) xfce-* and media-* here. |

IIRC, paludis has the "imlate" script you can use. |
