Description Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-06 22:32:39 UTC
$summary

I want to remove the older ebuild and you guys are the only arch without it stable.

Thanks,

I have looked through the ebuild but I cannot find any way to reduce the number of emulation targets. This interests me greatly as the first unfinished emerge run took over two days and the second one took one and a half day before I broke them off to do more important stuff (rebooting to a new kernel in both cases). It takes a day and a half to generate about 100 megabytes of objects:

295M    /mnt/alt/portage-tmp/portage/games-emulation/ (after 36 hours)
108M    /dev/shm/portage/games-emulation/           (freshly unpacked)

and in all that time it puts out a few lines denoting the global targets it is building.

Er, a hundred or two, sorry. :)

Well, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.  There's not much to be done about it but fix it, and unless you guys wanted to drop your KEYWORDS to ~arch, we'll just keep the old ebuild around for a bit more.  Let me know what you'd like to do.

HPPA, any word?
Comment 5 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-27 22:29:43 UTC
Removed HPPA keywording - neither version has ever proven to work or even build for me, nothing depends on it, and the ChangeLog doesn't log any HPPA keywording. Closing too.
