Description Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2014-02-06 14:34:15 UTC
In profiles/use.mask

# Diego Pettenò <flameeyes@gentoo.org> (4 Jan 2007)
# Mask the flags for PHP that are available only on x86

It looks like these flags are no longer used by PHP:

ingres  
birdstep
adabas  
filepro
pfpro   
informix
empress   
empress-bcs
sybase
dbmaker
esoob
solid
oci8
oracle7
db2

frontpage is present in dev-lang/php but appears to be unused
sybase-ct pulls in dev-db/freetds which is now keyworded on a number of arches

wow, 2007 :)

for me, I'd like to say, I need solid use flag for KDE kf5-solid :)
Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-10-19 23:39:26 UTC
My name is there but not all of them seem to come from me (see solid). Somebody with better context should clean these up.
Comment 3 Brian Evans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-12-04 19:03:33 UTC
I've dropped this list down considerably to:

# Diego Pettenò <flameeyes@gentoo.org> (4 Jan 2007)
# Mask the flags for PHP that are available only on x86
sybase
frontbase
# Shared with amd64
oci8
firebird


These were kept because of the unknown effect with other packages in the tree
Comment 4 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2016-01-25 05:15:04 UTC
Firebird works on x86 and amd64, so we should unmask USE=firebird there. I'm way too tired to be touching profiles/ right now though.
Comment 5 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2017-01-07 20:47:22 UTC
This is all that's left, and these two need to stay. I'll file separate bugs for x86/amd64 to update the comments in their respective unmask entries.

  # Michael Orlitzky <mjo@gentoo.org> (7 Jan 2017)
  # The dev-db/firebird and dev-db/oracle-instantclient* packages
  # only support amd64 and x86.
  firebird
