I know what unsupported means chris. what I'm referring to though are bugs that would affect i686 as well. but possibly get closed because a dev, like yourself, requested emerge --info and saw it was build on < i686 and closes it for that reason. probably RESOLVED WONTFIX .

If they're a bug dealing with an issue only present on < i686, then yes, they likely would be, at least for release media, unless you also provide a patch. This is what being "unsupported" means. Now, if you give me a patch for some bug that only affects < i686, I'll apply it, provided it doesn't break >= i686, but I simply don't have the time to support < i686 with the release media anymore. By the way, the stage1 tarball and Minimal InstallCD are both built as "i386" and will remain that way for the foreseeable future. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
