Honestly, I have no idea. Where do you want to draw the line? How would you handle library packages shipping binaries?

Right, that was the intent of my mail. Not to question some multilib internal stupidity like how to handle clashing pkg-config files but to question the approach in common. Maybe FatELF would work with this multilib/USE approch w/o cluttering the file system [1]. Multilib: funny clashes all over the tree, partial blessed by FHS. Emul- packages, frozen, incapable of compiling and adding additional stuff - collision avoidance by upstream. Separated trees/chroots/... to be merged in $PATH et. al. Is there any consent on how to proceed? I support an slim solution, but as it turns out "architecture independent" from FHS is just a lie. Or handled very badly.

Yeah, did not reinvent it, just want to re-think it's validity. - -- Michael Weber Gentoo Developer web: https://xmw.de/ mailto: Michael Weber <x...@gentoo.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlEJBGsACgkQknrdDGLu8JDMWAD+Ksp5FmqOKgHxuLtR/smWJCgU SjnM/V64GFnGrCtSqdoA/32BHJdFrO/6YzUZTMhHp+o9u/QgAEjgbKRutdptqZwQ =dSTv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
