1 Well, as I have said in IRC, I believe that creating a new rsync tree
2 would fix things for the moment. We could always have a testing tree for
3 those who want to use err test, err blow up their systems with the
4 latest packages.

6 Debian does it this way, keeping all the different archs seperate. With
7 a binary packaging method it has to be done this way so why isnt this
8 done when the packages are in source form? This would solve little
9 problems such as xforms and we could also fix other little things which
10 say they require nasm but don't really need it.

12 In the future it would be great if portage could do this automagically.
13 It could look at the arch and then pull from the correct tree.
