Description Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2013-01-02 20:24:55 UTC
On 10 Jul 2006; Aron Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org> stabilized a pile of x11-drivers/* on ia64. The evidence seems to say that he compile tested a bunch of things and marked them stable, regardless of possibility of hardware being available on that platform.

For instance, xf86-video-siliconmotion:

  10 Jul 2006; Aron Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org>
  xf86-video-siliconmotion-1.4.1.ebuild:
  Mark 1.4.1 stable on ia64

  01 Jul 2006; Donnie Berkholz <dberkholz@gentoo.org>;
  xf86-video-siliconmotion-1.4.1.ebuild:
  stable on alpha sh

siliconmotion isn't available on alpha, ia64, or sh...

Aron also marked xf86-video-intel stable on ia64, but no one knows of any ia64 hardware with integrated intel graphics. Other evidence points to no intel graphics on ia64 -- libdrm's configure.ac contains

   case $host_cpu in
           i?86|x86_64) INTEL=yes ;;
           *) INTEL=no ;;
   esac

Let's fix a 6.5 year old mistake and drop ia64 keywords on xf86-video-intel.

We should probably drop keywords on other drivers that no one has actually tested on weird arches as well.

done.
