IMHO not really. Nearly every system I run or administer is stable base plus selected ~arch packages of local interest. The degree of ~arch varies (my own boxes tend to have more, those I run for others less), but on the whole this is a fully workable combination. And no I dont really worry about EAPI=6, since as far as I can remember portage outputs a fat message "Masked by EAPI" once a package with EAPI too new for portage is required. [Most of my systems also run ~arch portage by default. Rarely any problems.] -- Andreas K. Huettel Gentoo Linux developer (council, perl, libreoffice) dilfri...@gentoo.org http://www.akhuettel.de/
