-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Since yesterday we finally have a stable version of app-admin/eselect-news in the tree [0], now it's time to get some news rollin' :)
The 2008.0 sparc profile uses a pure 32 bit userland and a 64 bit kernel. A few days ago I added an experimental multilib profile which uses 32 bit as default but also supports -m64. Problem is you can't simply switch your make.profile symlink, that's why we have a migration guide [1] and the purpose of this news item would be to notify users who switched to that profile that they need to read and follow that guide. Besides causing gcc and glibc to fail compilation, not reading that guide would also make a users system end up with two different libdirs: lib and lib32 (All our non-multilib profile use lib as libdir and our multilib profiles use lib32/lib64 with lib as a symlink to one of them) I'll commit this in 72 hours unless someone objects.

Title: Migrating to the new sparc mutlilib profile Author: Friedrich Oslage <blueb...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2008-12-30 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Profile: default/linux/sparc/experimental/multilib Display-If-Profile: default/linux/sparc/experimental/multilib/desktop Display-If-Profile: default/linux/sparc/experimental/multilib/developer Display-If-Profile: default/linux/sparc/experimental/multilib/server When migrating to the new sparc mutlilib profile please keep in mind that it is still in an experimental state. Also note that you need to follow the migration guide [0], otherwise important packages such as gcc or glibc will fail to compile and most other packages will be installed incorrectly.
