Currently, Gentoo-amd64 has just about finished moving 64-bit libs out of lib. We have both a lib32, and a lib64, with lib being a symlink to lib64, for those remaining packages (such as skencil, apparently) that have so far fallen thru the cracks, and continue to make the early Gentoo-amd64 assumption that lib is the 64-bit shared object location. With 2005.1, I'm expecting FEATURES=multilib-strict will be the default, to finally weed out as many of the few remaining back packages as possible. With 2006.0, it's possible that lib -> lib64 symlink can finally be broken, and any remaining packages then WILL get bugs filed, when someone tries to use them and has issues. With luck, by 2006.1, it should be safe to start doing basically the same thing with the lib32 -> lib move, as we will have just got thru doing with the lib -> lib64 move.First, there will be a symlink between the two, in another release or two,the main packages will be changed and it'll be time to activate themultilib-strict test for anything still ending up in lib32 instead of lib.By 2007.0, therefore, if luck holds, that multilib-strict test can be the default, to catch all the stragglers possible, and 2007.1 should then hopefully be able to remove lib32, relegating it to the annuls of Gentoo-amd64 history. (Those .1 mentions assume that Gentoo continues with the twice-yearly releases, thus, they mean second-half.)Where do you get this information from? We (read: we, the Gentoo/AMD64 developer team) never published such a roadmap, nor do we have one ourselves. Please, don't cook up a story just to enlarge your pen^W^W^Wmails.
First of all, it should be one ^W ;) Second, the default FEATURES in 2005.1 will be the same as in 2005.0: $ diff -u 2005.0/make.defaults 2005.1/make.defaults --- 2005.0/make.defaults 2005-07-01 23:14:23.000000000 +0200 +++ 2005.1/make.defaults 2005-06-04 23:20:09.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ # Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2-# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.0/make.defaults,v 1.15 2005/07/01 21:14:23 blubb Exp $ +# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.1/make.defaults,v 1.1 2005/06/04 21:20:09 eradicator Exp $
