Quoting Felix Palmen <fe...@palmen-it.de> (from Tue, 26 Jul 2022 12:25:54 +0200):

Case in question is, once again, multimedia/makemkv.

For a long time, the distfiles contained binaries of the closed-source
part for amd64 and i386 only, so naturally, the port had

ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=         amd64 i386

Now, upstream started adding binaries for armv7 and aarch64. From these,
Linuxulator is only available on aarch64. Therefore the variable now
looks like this:

ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=         aarch64 amd64 i386

This is, of course, exactly the default that USES=linux would set
anyways. Now I'm unsure whether I should just drop it and go with the
default?

Pro: It's actually the availability of Linuxulator that results in the
narrowest restriction now.

Con: The upstream software *is* restricted regarding ARCHs and maybe
this should stay being reflected.

What would you think is the better way to go?

There is work underway to port the linuxulator to other architecture(s). I would suggest to keep the ONLY_FOR_ARCHS in the port.

Bye,
Alexander.
