• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

This is a patch trying to support Prefix profile switching. Prefix uses ARCH-KERNEL as keyword.

Reproducible: Always

This won't work on non-Linux architectures, e.g. the prefix/darwin/macos/10.8/x64 profile has ARCH="x64-macos" and your patch would change that to "x64-macos-Darwin".

Thanks, Ulrich! I've digged out the IRC log. Yes, SunOS vs solaris, Darwin vs macosx sucks, which I didn't expect. Before settling down the convention of KERNEL vs KEYWORD, let's go with this patch.

The real problem is that the prefix/linux profiles define ARCH incorrectly. I've opened bug 473598 for this.
