I used crossdev to install an i686-mingw32 cross compiler. Worked great. Then I ran a emerge --depclean and it came up for removal. crossdev should put the entries it the world file so that they wont come up for removal.

it isnt added to the world file on purpose because that's what people wanted
(In reply to comment #1) > it isnt added to the world file on purpose because that's what people wanted > Seems weird that after installing an app that the default behavior would be to not stay installed. I'm curious what the use case is that people wouldn't want it installed. I guess consider this bug a feature request then that there should be an option to install the cross compiler into portage and have it act accordingly when I do an update world.
i guess i could flip the behavior and if people wanted the old behavior, they could just use -P -1 to pass -1 to portage
(In reply to comment #3) > i guess i could flip the behavior and if people wanted the old behavior, they > could just use -P -1 to pass -1 to portage > Sounds workable to me.
I have added these packages to my world file manually before but ran into a situation where doing emerge -uD --reinstall changed-use will rebuild some of the cross packages. Since I was not sure if that was safe or not I put the packages in world when using --depclean and remove them afterward.
the --oneshot option has been dropped in git and will be in next release

12:57 <xmw> about the cross-dev / overlay issue. what about stripping everything from /etc/layman/layman.cfg:make_conf (=/usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf) from PORTDIR_OVERLAYS and pick one of them? or change layman to add its overlays at the end of PORTDIR_OVERLAY?
