I'd like to stablize 6.2.0-r1 for now, with an eye towards 6.2.1, but I'm not in a big hurry for the latter (I'd like the grass users to bang on it for a bit). I've haven't marked amd64 stable, even though it's been tested and used (with real data) extensively here, due to ARCH testing policy and the USE flag GUI intricacies cited below. Other than QA updates, this has been pretty stable for a while as far as data and image formats, database plugins, etc, even though it has some configure braindeadness and basically needs the X-related USE flags enabled. The upstream stable version is now 6.2.1 (adding to the tree now for testing) and their bleeding-edge is 6.3.x (which I haven't even looked at yet). The only real issue with grass is following the warnings in the ebuild, and you can't currently disable all the GUI functionality. Also, opengl support depends on thread support in tcl and tk being disabled (that's an issue with tcl development). Other than that it works smoothly on x86 and amd64, including the 3D visualization and fly-through. Don't forget to have fun...
Stable on sparc. This builds and seems to run using both the {blas, lapack}-atlas packages and the {blas, lapack}-reference packages, fftw, tcl+tk,mysql, sqlite, and so on. I note in passing that the limitation on tcl+tk (USE=-threads if USE=opengl) conflicts with some other packages (most obviously, dev-tcltk/threads which cannot be built unless USE=threads). This is most likely not a significant problem, but as noted above, it should be addressed.
On amd64 current stable lapack and blas won't work...markusle promised to prepare a new stabilisation round.
Yeah, I did :) I committed blas/lapack-atlas-3.7.31 on Thursday which will be the one I'll push into stable unless something unexpected crops up. I hope that works. Best, Markus
x86 stable
stable on ppc

See comment #1 above... You can try disabling opengl (the nviz thing is opengl based) but the current configure scripts don't seem to be able to completely disable all the X gui deps. If that doesn't work, then you'll have to enable the rest of the GUI flags, ie, tcl, tk, and motif (otherwise you'll need to mask any versions higher than whatever works for you). Feel free to try the configure options on the latest version(s) and see if you can get a minimal build/install... And don't forget to report back :)
The latest 6.2.1 should now compile without any nviz, GUI, or X deps, with the following USE flags disabled: -X -opengl -glw -motif -tcl -tk Anyone that needs grass on a server or console-only machine should try it out.
Can we get some amd64 action on this? Thanks...
not before we got some sci action on bug 171784
Doesn't seem like anything I can do from the Sci side; looks more like arch testing and donnie letting it sit for 3 months.
One more time? I think the prerequisites have been met...
