Hello, I am working towards having a clean deptree for arm64 and afterwards marking the non-hardened 5 arm64 profiles stable (or 4 - I don't see value in the developer profile without the desktop specific subprofiles, until there are mix-ins).
This e-mail is meant to make sure there are no other pre-requisites for just flipping the switch in profiles.desc from exp to stable, and to express that intent and garner any hands-on help. Also some eyes on the profiles (profiles/arch/arm64/*) would be useful, especially from those who knows how all these CHOST/LIBDIR and other things need to be, to make sure these are all right before the profiles go stable. Currently my plan is to solve all the deptree issues by mostly stable use masks where needed (the stage building stable keywords haven't kept the deptree in mind so far, just for what USE flags are enabled for stage building), and keywording ~arm64 or use.mask/package.use.mask'ing to fix the ~arm64 deptree too (depending on if I want it keyworded immediately, or delay for future consideration and fix the deptree by use masks till then). I'm having the CI hamsters spin for this at https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/3622 Yes, there is quite some work to do, but this e-mail is meant to get any necessary formalities out of the way in parallel, so we can get the switch flipped right after instead of discussing it then, and not continue a chasing game due to repoman not telling to file a KEYWORDREQ for us for new deps. Note that there is no arm64 project as of yet, it's been worked on to some capacity as part of arm project, which I believe to be a bit confusing (albeit similar to ppc/ppc64), but also a bit daunting with the arm4/5/6/7/vfp/neon/etc combination explosion stuff in arm32 land (so I think it's good to have a clean break there with project documentation pages, people involvement, etc). I haven't been able to convince steev as of yet about this and haven't exercised any project creation rights myself yet :D Mart
