Actually, your answer below was good enough for me? I don't mind an answer of xyz if you're feeling luck, and abc if you're not. Gentoo is all about choice, after all. > What do you mean with 'lib32/lib64 questions'? could you give a typical > example, please? > I was referring to all the confusion that arose when people had backwards symlinks due to some early versions of the 2005.0 scripts. If I were on a play machine that I wanted to be cutting-edge (or maybe a playground chroot) I wouldn't mind that at all, and would appreciate the challenge. However, I wouldn't want that to happen on a released version. Usually I don't mind tinkering with things, but if it is serious problem that leaves half my box unusable then sometimes I might not have time to play with it before actually trying to use it for something somewhat serious. > > 2005.0 profile is still testing, it will be officially released when > 2005.0 is released. > Thanks - that's all I wanted to know. Maybe a good FAQ might be "How do I know what profile is released?" Don't get me wrong - I appreciate all the amd64 devs are doing here - they've been nothing but helpful to me, and I consulted #amd64 for advice before spending my money and got a lot of great free advice. Sometimes, however, it isn't always obvious what directions things are going in (a la multilib) unless you glean from several places (the mailing list, the forum, and probably IRC as well), which I usually don't do. Maybe a roadmap or something might be a good idea? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCRGKZg2bN8aFizRkRAtmuAKDLEwmQecW4Ac7NN4aCEhh7wmE/YwCfRGN3 nbvcXVQVYRRUZyIdNGMtz60= =W8T2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] mailing list
