Description Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-11-11 08:01:27 UTC 
virtual/libffi has a single dev-libs/libffi provider for a while. I think it's easier to switch over to dev-libs/libffi dependency directly.

Will slightly simplify ebuild maintenance and will simplify upgrade path for users (no need to update packages in lock-step).
