Following discussion [1] and a vote by the Gentoo Council [2,3], |
| 16 |
m68k, s390, and sh will drop all stable keywords and become |
| 17 |
unstable/testing only arches. The main reason for this is that |
| 18 |
these arch teams visibly lack manpower, resulting in undesirable |
| 19 |
delays. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
In a week, the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS variable in the respective profiles |
| 22 |
will be switched to automatically include ~arch packages. Systems |
| 23 |
running stable before will update to current unstable/testing then. |
| 24 |
Afterwards m68k, s390, and sh keywords on all ebuilds will be |
| 25 |
changed to ~m68k, ~s390, and ~sh. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
No steps are required from users, however you should be aware |
| 28 |
of the upcoming changes. |
