Everything committed and submitted now. QT 4.8.6 is not yet stable and app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs has been masked. The stable QT 4.8.5 doesn't have multilib support.

No in-tree package needs stable 32-bit Qt, so consider it dropped to ~amd64.

This change has the effect of forcing users to either: 1. drop a few unstable packages which used to work with an otherwise-stable system, or 2. convert large portions of their system to unstable. I like the idea of moving to multilib ebuilds instead of special packages for the 32-bit libraries, and I'm sure it brings advantages I may not be aware of. However, the actual switching process seems like it could use a little more work (or maybe just time for more of the multilib packages to reach stable) to make it easier to switch. (In reply to Kevin Lyles from comment #4) > 2. convert large portions of their system to unstable. I had to unmask QT 4.8.6. That's it. That's not what I call a "large portion".

That's not what I call a "large > portion". You're right, I missed the fact that most of the changes suggested by emerge were just enabling abi_x86_32 for another 100+ packages. I only need to keyword QT, same as you. Sorry for the noise. Any chance to have gtk-1 emul package as it is now in app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs? I have an rather old payed program (Lingea Lexicon), for which I would need to buy an upgrade to get it working (or have multilib gtk-1).

Could you file a separate bug though, please?

Could you file a separate bug though, please? There is bug 534016 for this already. And removed. |
