This just means that if I install package X, which depends on Y and MULTILIB_ABI="amd64 x86", Portage will complain (or reinstall) Y if it doesn't have both amd64 and x86, right? > While i did not yet get to the implementation of it, i would also like > to propose something similiar for languages (like python, ruby or > others), so that the basic parts are inside the PM and we can drop the > different ways of implementation and allow users a much more > fine-grained control on a per package base (in relation to the current > way python eclass based very complex implementation works). This would be absolutely great! -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level
