I'll add my support for this, the migration was almost completely painless on |
| 15 |
all three of my systems. There were only a few exceptions: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
- I hit the aforementioned cdrdao failure (which I opted to solve via USE |
| 18 |
flag). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
- On my laptop I hit the ICU incompatibility with qtwebengine because I had |
| 21 |
firefox install with USE="system-icu" (which was masked at some point in the |
| 22 |
13.0 profiles, which is why I didn't hit this until now), so I unset the USE |
| 23 |
flag again, but that caused some post-migration emerging, which was annoying, |
| 24 |
but not horrible. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
- On my desktop rust failed for some reason (almost at the end, of course, |
| 27 |
when building rustdoc), but simply emerging it again afterwards worked. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
- On my desktop I also hit the mupen64plus-ui-console build failure. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Note that all of these have open bugs (except for the rust one, but I expect |
| 32 |
that simply came from an inconsistency due to the unfinished "emerge -e |
| 33 |
@world", or a random bitflip, or something similarly ephemeral). |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
(Oh, and libsidplay failed because its maintainer is apparently too busy to |
| 36 |
fix its incompatibility with app-shells/dash, but that had nothing to do with |
| 37 |
the migration per se.) |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I'll also add -- not because I was worried about it but because the |
| 40 |
possibility was mentioned in another thread -- that I can't say I'm noticing |
| 41 |
any performance hits, even on my 11 year old Athlon64 X2. (IIUC, per the GCC |
| 42 |
manual, PIC and PIE only affect startup time, not runtime, so this result |
| 43 |
should be expected.) |
