Huettel <dilfridge@gentoo.org> +Content-Type: text/plain +Posted: 2013-09-22 +Revision: 1 +News-Item-Format: 1.0 +Display-If-Keyword: m68k +Display-If-Keyword: s390 +Display-If-Keyword: sh + +Following discussion [1] and a vote by the Gentoo Council [2,3], +m68k, s390, and sh will drop all stable keywords and become +unstable/testing only arches. The main reason for this is that +these arch teams visibly lack manpower, resulting in undesirable +delays. + +In a week, the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS variable in the respective profiles +will be switched to automatically include ~arch packages. Systems +running stable before will update to current unstable/testing then. +Afterwards m68k, s390, and sh keywords on all ebuilds will be +changed to ~m68k, ~s390, and ~sh. + +No steps are required from users, however you should be aware +of the upcoming changes. + +[1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/2975/focus=2984 +[2] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/meeting-logs/20130917.txt +[3] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/meeting-logs/20130917-summary.txt |
