Description Amit Pansare 2003-07-09 02:33:54 UTC

I have seen that ebuilds are bloated with information from different 
architectures. If a different tree for architectures is made it will help in 
following ways:
1: making the ebuilds clean/less-bloated
2: contributors who do not have knowledge of other arch, can easily contribute
3: testing would be easy 
4: maintaining ebuilds would be easier
5: the problem of (stable for x86 but unstable for ppc(aor any other arch)
   would be solved



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

See discussions on -dev mailing list as to why it is handled as it is.
