+ 19 Apr 2013; Ben de Groot <yngwin@gentoo.org> package.mask: + media-libs/fontconfig non-maintainer ebuild with experimental multilib features + masked for further testing +
The freetype and fontconfig ebuild revisions which have these experimental multilib features were committed without my consent (as maintainer of those packages). I am not willing to support them at this time.
But... is this related with technical reasons or only personal preferences :/
(In reply to comment #4) > But... is this related with technical reasons or only personal preferences :/ I think it is still too experimental to let loose on the tree. It makes things more complicated, and therefore more fragile; and I am not convinced we need this. And more importantly, it is still controversial, and there is no clear consensus that we want to commit to this multilib approach. It needs more discussion on dev ml first.
I masked reverse dependencies of multilib fontconfig so that visibility requirements are met.
I would like to chime in: masking the multilib fontconfig also masks app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-20130224-r1 (as it depends on multilib fontconfig). But allowing that to re-mask (I have it listed in package.unmask) subsequently blocks about 40 packages in x11-libs, all of which have been running fine on my system for months. I suspect this would be a nontrivial downgrade: can this get resolved soon-ish? Cheers,
For people wanting to use multilib stuff, I would simply unmask that packages locally
This is not fixed. It seems to me that all problems would go away if fontconfig was unmasked, instead of masking additional (perfectly working) packages. fontconfig shouldn't have been masked, in the first place.

I don't see much increase in complexity from fontconfig-2.10.2.ebuild to fontconfig-2.10.2-r1.ebuild. And how should it ever receive testing if we keep it in package.mask?
This bug is only about broken dependencies, the unmasking and other changes please discuss in bug 455074.
I added my reply at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455074#c13
I've added multilib@ as a dedicated co-maintainer for freetype & fontconfig, and unmasked the packages.
