While it does read like that, I would think that it's safer to just do the |
| 7 |
revdep-rebuild. |

I followed the instructions and everything went fine, albeit it took about 2 |
| 19 |
days on my desktop just for the revdep-rebuild. I had a few build failures, |
| 20 |
but almost all of them were from packages in the proaudio and my personal |
| 21 |
overlay. The only package from the main Gentoo tree that failed was |
| 22 |
libsidplay, but that was due to a bash/dash compatibility problem that causes |
| 23 |
the configure step to produce broken Makefiles. *double checks* No, sorry, on |
| 24 |
my desktop the following also failed to build: |
| 25 |
- games-emulation/nestopia, |
| 26 |
- games-emulation/mupen64plus, |
| 27 |
- media-sound/ams |
| 28 |
- media-sound/seq24, |
| 29 |
|

For the first two, I wouldn't be surprised if their ~arch versions work. The |
| 31 |
latter two are probably unmaintained upstream and need to be patched. |
