Description Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2024-10-17 14:54:15 UTC
Dropbox has stopped supplying (32bit) x86 builds starting with version 206.x.  I don't think we should be keeping the old 205 ebuild around much longer since it has lots of bundled libs that will probably eventually bring security issues.

I'm opening this bug to prepare to drop x86 keywords on revdeps of net-misc/dropbox.  I'm open to any alternative solutions too, but I can't really think of any.

Affected rdeps appear to be:

gnome-extra/nautilus-dropbox
mate-extra/caja-dropbox
net-misc/dropbox-cli
kde-apps/dolphin-plugins-dropbox (via dep on dropbox-cli)

I'd like to move forward with removing x86 keywords on these 4 packages soon.

Thanks!

In case you're waiting for it officially, I've already given my go-ahead on irc.
