~arch overrides -*
Okay, I did not know that. Hence my asking on gentoo-dev@ before I opened a bugreport. But if ~arch overrides -* should the sys-devel/gcc-3.4.3.20050110 not be package.mask'ed instead?
Could somebody update the Changelog to explain why it is going into ~x86? In particular, there seems to be no significant change since this entry: 19 Jan 2005; Brandon Hale <tseng@gentoo.org> gcc-3.4.3.20050110.ebuild: Re-masking by request, see bug #78666. This GCC is failing with ICE, and some users report that it cannot even build itself. Hopefully the SSE2/3 fixes can be sanely backported to a released toolchain instead of unleashing a random, busted CVS checkout on ~arch. (Changes to comments and descriptions do not count as "significant".) Please? Masking locally until somebody can convince me moving to a gcc snapshot is a good idea... (I'm quite willing to be convinced.) Phil
Combinations like "-* ~x86 ~sparc" mean: testing on sparc and x86 , and br0ken everywhere else.
