Description Andrew Dorney 2005-05-18 19:12:06 UTC

I would like to request a command-line option for portage, so that when an AMD64 user emerges something, it can be emerged in x86 versus amd64. This would also solve quite a few binary issues for a lot of people.

I'm not a programmer, but I'm guessing this is going to be a hard(er) thing to implement, what with dependency checking between x86 and amd64, but I thought I'd suggest it anyway. I'd love to be able to emerge x86 things at will.

This is way way off.

This is way way off.
-------------------

I'm... sorry? Maybe I don't understand something here, but just "this is way
off" doesn't help clarify things for me.

afaik you can already do this by running something like `ABI=x86 emerge <pkg>`
