Python relies on unicode being present, the default locale in stages is C.UTF-8, ... too many central parts of the system just assume it's there. You'll be assimilated, resistance is futile. (*) In any case, if large libraries like ICU are needed for unicode support, we'll keep a useflag, but in that case the flag is called e.g. icu. -- Andreas K.

In principle yes, but every experimental piece can add more problems. It's probably best to start with a base that is as boring as possible. What crossdev does is (simplified) * "create" (as symlinks) ebuilds for cross-compiler, cross-binutils, and target glibc * build cross-compiler, cross-binutils, and target glibc * installs a wrapper for emerge that uses these For example, you end up on an amd64 system with an additional directory /usr/ riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu that contains * a gcc that runs on amd64 (CBUILD) but generates code for riscv64 (CTARGET) * a binutils that runs on amd64 but works with files for riscv64 * a glibc for riscv64 Then, using commands like riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-emerge -av @system you can build in /usr/riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu pieces of the target system. This works only in a very limited way, since many upstream build systems do not support cross-compiling. However, with some patience you can get to the point where the directory can be tarred up and used as a chroot on the target architecture. -- Andreas K.

Re: [gentoo-user] "masked by: EAPI 7" trying up update "portage" - how to proceed

Portage disregards ebuilds where it doesnt know the format, but of course if these are needed to update Portage itself, you're somewhat screwed. Luckily there is a very simple workaround. Download a recent portage (the packager) tarball, or clone git master portage: https://anongit.gentoo.org/git/proj/portage.git Then run the "emerge" command inside that checkout, by giving its full path, the same way as you would otherwise run emerge. This updates your system and ideally afterwards your system portage is new and shiny, so you can delete the git clone again. -- Andreas K.

Well this is essentially how portage team (to my knowlegde) tests git HEAD version of portage and its development (have a git checkout of portage code and run it from there).

As a last resort, you should be able to run a "non-installed" portage version to update your system once. Manually download and unpack a recent portage tarball somewhere temporary and then run as root something like porto tmp # ./portage-2.3.0/bin/emerge -uDNav world This can update your system to the newest state, including updating the installed portage. Afterwards you won't need the temporarily unpacked portage anymore. Disclaimer: I haven't tested this for a while. It may delete your data, kill kittens or turn the sun into a nova.
