Description Paul Jewell 2013-10-12 10:22:35 UTC

Please can you update crossdev to generate ebuilds which do not depend on emul-linux-x86-* packages when multilib flag is set? Instead they should require the relevant library with abi_x86_32 (if my understanding is correct!)

I would be happy to try out revised ebuilds here. If the content of the ebuilds are inherited from elsewhere, please accept my apologies, and I will re-enter the enhancement request in the correct location

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

i have no idea what you're looking for here.  crossdev doesn't generate ebuilds.

Comment 2 Paul Jewell 2013-10-13 12:38:55 UTC

Apologies for my lack of understanding about the function of crossdev -I did try to indicate that I thought the information may stem from elsewhere. I have a system with mixed stable and unstable packages, and at the moment updating is proving challenging because of the changes to how abi_32 is managed. The sys-devel/gcc utilises the precompiled libraries in the emul-linux-x86* files - if my understanding is correct, that approach is deprecated.

As I have raised this in the wrong place, I will change the status to invalid, and apologise for wasting your time.
