Hi there! |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am not running ~x86 at the moment. I like to stay on the safer side, and |
| 4 |
it has not been too much trouble. Yet. There are things in have in |
| 5 |
package.keywords, quite a lot actually. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Most packages are not a problem. Examples are games-fps/quake3, games- |
| 8 |
fps/worldofpadman or games-strategy/widelands, which I want to use, but |
| 9 |
they are all keyworded. Or net-misc/youtube-dl, which changes quite |
| 10 |
frequently to adopt to youtube changes, and I want to always have the |
| 11 |
newest version. Or firefox 3.5. which took quite a while to go stable I |
| 12 |
think. Those are no problem. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
There are other packages, which I unmask because of trouble with stable |
| 15 |
ones. One example is sys-apps/util-linux-2.15.1, which I need in order to |
| 16 |
make cfdisk work with large drives. Sometimes they pull in something else |
| 17 |
I have to unmask, but it's no big problem. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Then there is KDE4. I like it, but there are still so many bugs, so I want |
| 20 |
it to be a pretty new version from kde-testing. And I guess this is what |
| 21 |
is responsible for most of my problems, which make the @world update |
| 22 |
break. The current problem is with samba, apparently the monolithic |
| 23 |
package is being replaced by split ones, like with Qt. The new version is |
| 24 |
needed by kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves-4.3.3-r1 (4.3.3 is stable). I can |
| 25 |
mask this, and the @world update will work, with a minor complaint about |
| 26 |
the masked kioslaves. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I wonder if it's worth the trouble. I read here that running a full ~x86 |
| 29 |
system would probably be easier. And I'd like to try, but while going from |
| 30 |
x86 to ~x86 is easy, the other way is quite hard, isn't it? If possible at |
| 31 |
all. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
What about stability problems? I'd expect some, as the ~x86 stuff is not |
| 34 |
so fully tested. What are your experiences? And, do you also get blockers |
| 35 |
from time to time that are hard to solve? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I know this topic has been here a couple of times, sorry for bothering |
| 38 |
you, but I do not dare yet to make the switch. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Thanks for comments on this. I won't blame anybody for suggesting to make |
| 41 |
the switch in case I will regret this later :) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
BTW, when I test this and enable ~x86 in make.conf, I first need to set |
| 44 |
the extras use flag for udev, and then I get these blockers. So I have to |
| 45 |
go to openrc, okay. And again trouble with my ati drivers. But maybe this |
| 46 |
will be over once I have completed the switch. |
