According to the support policy, MongoDB 3.2 is EOL since September 2018 and version 3.4 does not support x86 any more. Please remove support for dev-db/mongodb on x86 so we can drop the EOL MongoDB versions in Gentoo. Thank you. https://www.mongodb.com/support-policy https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/#mongodb-supported-platforms
That would mean, x86 support needs to be dropped completly for net-wireless/unifi, since it needs dev-db/mongo
Either we can: - drop x86 for unifi - write a conditional mongodb dependency only for amd64 and having a note for x86 that mongodb will have to be supplied some other way (on another box for example)
I would drop completly x86 in that case. Lets see what Ben says.
The second option is a bit more correct, because you can have unifi on x86 and mongodb elsewhere, but I'll leave it to you.
I'm leaning towards dropping x86 for a few reasons. 1) Upstream is only supporting & testing amd64 (& a bit of ARM) afaict. They ship a handful of (non-vital) native libs and the targets are Linux/{aarch64,armv7,x86_64}, Windows/x86_64, and Mac/x86_64. 2) Beyond a simple first-startup in x86 chroot, I'm not testing x86. 3) While a remote monogodb is possible, it would require some modification of installed unifi files, and I don't have much motivation to build that & test that. 4) Keeping keywords for #3 would still probably justify p.mask on x86. I think I'd rather just unkeyword and let any hypothetical adventurous x86 users allow it via p.a_k if they want. Those are my initial thoughts, but I'm still open to discussion.
Given the circumstances I'd vote for unifi dropping ~x86, but I'll leave the decision on you.

That's IMHO the main problem. UniFi does not support the configuration for using a remote mongodb. I also don't want so support such unofficial unsupported configuration.
