Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am working towards having a clean deptree for arm64 and afterwards |
| 4 |
marking the non-hardened 5 arm64 profiles stable (or 4 - I don't see |
| 5 |
value in the developer profile without the desktop specific |
| 6 |
subprofiles, until there are mix-ins). |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
This e-mail is meant to make sure there are no other pre-requisites for |
| 9 |
just flipping the switch in profiles.desc from exp to stable, and to |
| 10 |
express that intent and garner any hands-on help. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Also some eyes on the profiles (profiles/arch/arm64/*) would be useful, |
| 13 |
especially from those who knows how all these CHOST/LIBDIR and other |
| 14 |
things need to be, to make sure these are all right before the profiles |
| 15 |
go stable. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Currently my plan is to solve all the deptree issues by mostly stable |
| 19 |
use masks where needed (the stage building stable keywords haven't kept |
| 20 |
the deptree in mind so far, just for what USE flags are enabled for |
| 21 |
stage building), and keywording ~arm64 or use.mask/package.use.mask'ing |
| 22 |
to fix the ~arm64 deptree too (depending on if I want it keyworded |
| 23 |
immediately, or delay for future consideration and fix the deptree by |
| 24 |
use masks till then). |
| 25 |
I'm having the CI hamsters spin for this at |

Yes, there is quite some work to do, but this e-mail is meant to get |
| 29 |
any necessary formalities out of the way in parallel, so we can get the |
| 30 |
switch flipped right after instead of discussing it then, and not |
| 31 |
continue a chasing game due to repoman not telling to file a KEYWORDREQ |
| 32 |
for us for new deps. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Note that there is no arm64 project as of yet, it's been worked on to |
| 35 |
some capacity as part of arm project, which I believe to be a bit |
| 36 |
confusing (albeit similar to ppc/ppc64), but also a bit daunting with |
| 37 |
the arm4/5/6/7/vfp/neon/etc combination explosion stuff in arm32 land |
| 38 |
(so I think it's good to have a clean break there with project |
| 39 |
documentation pages, people involvement, etc). I haven't been able to |
| 40 |
convince steev as of yet about this and haven't exercised any project |
| 41 |
creation rights myself yet :D |
