Please finish the removal It arguably might be nice to keep dietlibc as a cross target but not for other packages to depend on. version bump works out of the box. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- acer ~ # diff /var/db/repos/local/dev-libs/dietlibc/dietlibc-0.34.ebuild /var/db/repos/local/dev-libs/dietlibc/dietlibc-0.35.ebuild acer ~ # -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- acer ~ # emerge -p -v dietlibc 2>/dev/null These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies ..... done! Dependency resolution took 14.08 s (backtrack: 0/20). [ebuild R ] dev-libs/dietlibc-0.35::local 0 KiB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB That doesn't really mean much by itself, needs assessment as to the various open bugs to see if a bump fixes it, as well as checking for build system changes. But the whole stack has somewhat of a reputation anyway. Like I said, keeping it as a cross target is probably fine, but I don't see a need for other packages to be using it at all. Is this package still a thing? IIRC back in 2023 was more than dead (In reply to Sam James from comment #4) > Like I said, keeping it as a cross target is probably fine, but I don't see > a need for other packages to be using it at all. Uh, sorry I didn't read that part. Yes, I can understand it: maintaining it as an alternative could be useful for those who want some "exoteric" build but as always it can lead to broken builds are headaches. EDIT: I see they have released a new version in october after 11 years of nothingness https://www.fefe.de/dietlibc/ |
