I hadn't spotted dar before. Can you explain the use of the dar32 and dar64
USE flags? The use.desc description doesn't help much.

FWIW, I have glibc-2.5, everything built with gcc-4.1.1 but nothing fancy in
the cflags, and everything runs fine.

There is another school of thought, which is that the time taken to
create and maintain this excellent, but overly elaborate, system for
the home user would be greater than the time taken to simply
re-install. I am not interested in a maintaining such a comprehensive

Hi all,
Back in May 2005 we made the decision to not use the assembler USE flags
because AMD64 was not affected by the "lots of sub-arches" problem and
instead just enable SIMD code where possible. As a result of this, the
3dnow, 3dnowext, mmx, mmxext, sse and sse2 USE flags got masked.

It has a lot of pending bugs (>30) and someone said development has been abandoned (I dont know), I think it's great to mask it but not removing it from portage until we have xmms2 available. Some ppl may want to use it anyway.

XMMS is unmaintained upstream, relies on gtk1, and has a ton of bugs
(it's at -r16 if that means anything to you). It's not really worth
maintaining in Gentoo. If you really like XMMS that much, one might
want to try something like BMPx, which is very similar, and much more
maintained upstream.

How do I get this thing to pull in the CD information?
