Ebuilds from overlay are always ~arch, afaik. Overlays are not considered "stable" for what seem to me to be obvious reasons; namely that only the Portage tree itself can mark ebuilds as stable, and since these ebuilds are not part of the "legal" Portage system, who is supposed to judge? and secondly, that overlay ebuilds, which could come from anywhere, could never "out of the box" be considered "stable" -- as in working-- by the official Portage tree (which is really just another way of saying the first part). Anyway, > I have removed the ~x86 media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r3.ebuild in the > overlay manually and at the moment i emerge > media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r3. as far as I know, this is the correct solution; the other point of an overlay is that you keep an eye on it, and if an overlay ebuild does in fact make it into the regular Portage tree, you should remove the overlay build from the overlay and let Portage take over (since, if I recall something that Neil said some time ago, overlay ebuilds will always supercede Portage ebuilds if they duplicate each other, version-wise). That's what works for me, anyway. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
