Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-05-28 13:13:01 UTC
The Multilib project has been formed in 2013 to aid the development of multilib eclasses and porting packages to it.  After all these years, the goals have been met.  The eclasses have become pretty much a normal part of the ecosystem and the project practically doesn't exist.

Right now, there are two things left:

1. Eclasses are maintained by the project.

2. There are some docs on the project space in the wiki.

I think the best way forward would to disband the project.  I'd take the multilib-build and multilib-minimal eclasses.  As for cmake-multilib, either me or kde@ can take it (CC-ing).  I'd move the wiki pages outside project namespace, partially merging with the 'Multilib' article.

WDYT?
