Hi William, There are two flavors of prefix: the usual one¹, that uses the host libc, a different "gentoo_prefix" tree, and separate baselayout and friends; and the prefix-libc, prefix-standalone, or RAP one², that only supports Linux for now as it uses its own libc and depends only on the kernel from the host. This second flavor of prefix does not use a separate "gentoo_prefix" tree, but the usual one, and the usual package keywords as well. That's why we needed to make a few changes here and there to some packages in the main tree to support prefix, even though those packages were not explicitly marked as being prefix-enabled. I've made some of those changes since I am maintaining a relatively large installation of prefix packages in cvmfs (~1300 packages currently). I hope this clarifies things for you. Let us know if you have any other questions. Cheers, —Guilherme 1. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Prefix 2. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Prefix/libc Hi William, I back Guilherme's explanation. Cheers, Benda Can this bug be closed? Yes. |
