Created attachment 337634 [details] multilib ebuild Same as freetype. Attaching new ebuild and a diff.
Created attachment 337638 [details, diff] Diff against gx86
Created attachment 337702 [details] Ebuild, r2 Fixed to use pkg-config to query freetype2 instead of freetype-config. It seems that upstream is doing that in HEAD anyway.
Created attachment 337704 [details, diff] Diff for r2
Since there's a few users of multilib-build in the tree, we'd like to proceed deploying X11 libraries from emul-linux-x86-xlibs to the tree. Since fontconfig is part of that set, I'd appreciate your +1/-1 ASAP so we would know whether to keep the two in emul-linux or convert as well.
Doesn't seem wrong at all. I pointed on irc a small improvement you could consider asap, the rest seems good to go.
As discussed on IRC, I have committed the ebuild in its current state (after updating for newest version in-tree). The mentioned bug will be tracker and fixed by bug 459210, after extending the eclass as necessary.

After fontconfig-2.10.2-r1 and a few more packages have been masked and previous revisions re-emerged, I cannot start skype on my ~amd64 notebook: grozin@dns ~ $ skype skype: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory grozin@dns ~ $ ldd /opt/bin/skype <skipped> libfontconfig.so.1 => not found <skipped> I used it normally a few days ago. I absolutely need to have it working, sorry. Is there any way to restore working skype?

Same here on ~amd64: ~ % skype skype: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I have media-libs/fontconfig-2.10.2:1.0 installed.

I don't know why this is not done automatically.

I don't know why this is not done automatically. Yeh that worked, thank you! P.S. I hate making changes in /usr/lib for non critical packages like Skype.

Considering you're not using the new fontconfig, you would need to install emul-linux-x86-xlibs back. I'd suspect that would require disabling ABI_X86=32 on most of the involved packages.

I see enough to not want to maintain the added features and complexity, at least for now. > And how should it ever receive testing if we keep it in package.mask? It should be developed in an overlay, so people who want this feature can test it, without it affecting the rest of the portage tree before it is mature enough. But as I said on the ML, if anyone wants this unmasked, please step up to become a dedicated co-maintainer.
I've added multilib@ as a dedicated co-maintainer and unmasked the package.
