Description Auke Booij (tulcod) 2007-06-12 19:43:09 UTC
I've spoken with the upstream for these two packages, he says they should run on any architecture and are not architecture-specific. I suggest keywording them like this:
~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~ia64 ~hppa ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc ~x86

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Please, only file keywording bugs about arches that you personally use and care about. Most arches will simply refuse to accept similar mass-keywording bugs filed just because something is allegedly "not architecture-specific".

Hi,
I'm the upstream. I have tested tntnet, cxxtools and tntdb on Kubuntu/x86 using gcc 4.1.2 20060928, Kubuntu/amd64 using gcc 4.1.2 20060928 and on AIX on ppc using xlc (the IBM-compiler). Others have reported tntnet working on FreeBSD using gcc (unknown version) and Solaris using SunStudio-compiler. There is no system-specific code in tntnet, cxxtools and tntdb, so there should be no problems regarding 32-bit/64-bit or little/big-endian or different compilers.

I should be more clear, I guess? Most arches simply won't needlessly keyword stuff that none of their users is using. So, filing bugs saying that $ebuild should be keyworded everywhere just won't fly. If you are using this on some arch and want it keyworded there, then file a bug for that arch. Keywording for the sake of keywording is not useful.
