Sure, but you it depends if you want to make all x86 (but not amd64 or ~amd64) apps available. My personal preference is to clone the ebuilds of stuff I want to try that hasn't got an amd keyword of one sort or another into my overlay directory and then build them. This means my systems is: * mainly stable amd64 packages * with a selection of ~amd64 packages (via package.keywords) * with a few cloned/overlayed x86 only builds manually editied to be ~amd64 Hopefully this stops you whole system being pulled into an unstable state. -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ If I am elected, the concrete barriers around the WHITE HOUSE will be replaced by tasteful foam replicas of ANN MARGARET! -- [email protected] mailing list
