You can add me to that list; I test my apps on x86 and PPC (most all of them are console / daemon) and will generally commit with ~x86 and ~ppc keywords wherever possible. I do have to agree with the sentiment in the original post, however. There was a case just recently (well, inside of a month) where an `emerge system -u` on my PowerMac resulted in unsatisfied dependancies because of single-arch thinking. :< Anyways; here's hoping we can gently nudge enough x86-only devs into considering other architectures when they commit; especially in the case where system packages are involved. -- Stewart Honsberger (AKA Blkdeath) WWW: http://blackdeath.snerk.org/ 22:11:52 up 133 days, 1:02, 1 user, load average: 1.01, 1.14, 1.17 Doesn't it bother you, that we have to search for intelligent life --- OUT THERE?? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
