I'm saying that I doubt it will be possible to use portage to properly emerge 32bit or 64bit versions of a package simultaneously and keep dependencies correct any time in the near future. > IOW, was that a mistype, or is the amd64 arch sticking with quarterly > releases this year, or is there some other explanation I haven't yet > fathomed?

I'll try writing that up in more detail this week, post for comments here, then bribe someone else to xmlify it for me... but I first want to finish the 2005.0 upgrade guide (http://amd64.gentoo.org/2005.0-upgrade-amd64.xml) For those interested, I'm pretty sure the Makefile and instructions are just about final. We no longer need the lib32 tarball. I just need to add more descriptions and explainations to avoid the confusion that was evident in this thread and hopefully provide a link to the roadmap when it's done. --Jeremy
