Description Alvaro Figueroa (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-27 10:33:05 UTC 
I'm not into making ebuilds yet, so I leave the code up to you.

My suggestion is the following: Use the variable PROFILE_ARCH to modify the
value of SRC_URI to automatically download the binary tar file for the arch on
witch the ebuild is being run.

For a list of SRC_URI for some archs, please go to

BTW, examples of the use of that variable, can be found on glibc 2.2.5's ebuild
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-01-27 13:40:35 UTC 
you can do this: 
SRC_URI="x86? ( pkg to download ) 
ppc? ( pkg to download ) 
sparc? ( pkg to download )" 
 
and so on and so forth ... if you want support for a specific package file a bug for a specific 
pkg
