Is there a reason this package is excluded from 32-bit ppc systems? I have modified the ebuild on my system by adding the ~ppc keyword and it seems to run with no trouble yet. In fact, x font server is available for many projects in ppc format, Debian, Fedora, and Suse. emerge --info --------------------------------------------------------- Portage 2.1_pre7-r5 (default-linux/ppc/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r3, 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 ppc) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 ppc 7455, altivec supported Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre17 dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -mtune=G4 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe" CHOST="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mtune=G4 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LINGUAS="en_US" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="ppc X aac alsa altivec apache2 arts berkdb bidi bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 cairo cdda cdr cjk cli crypt cups curl dbus doc dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss esd fbcon ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm ggi gif gnome gnutls gpm gs gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile hal howl imagemagick imlib ipv6 isdnlog jack java javascript jikes jpeg jpeg2k junit kde lcms libcaca libwww live mad mikmod mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg multislot ncurses nls nntp nptl nptlonly ogg oggvorbis openal opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl pic png ppds pppd python qt readline reflection samba scanner sdl session slang smp snmp spell spl ssl stream t1lib tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vorbis wmf xcomposite xine xml xml2 xmms xorg xosd xprint xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux linguas_en_US userland_GNU video_cards_ati video_cards_radeon" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LDFLAGS
Nobody has needed it yet on ppc. It does work though, so marked ~ppc.
