 |

Hi guys,
I know this has been discussed a lot lately, so forgive me if I missed out the actual recommendation on how to proceed!
Background: I have this 64 bit ~arch computer which I use 32 bit commercial software on, and it is critical that my downtime is as short as possible.
When I tried to update world today, I had lots of rows such as this;
| Code: | | sys-libs/readline:0=[abi_x86_32(-)?,abi_x86_64(-)?,abi_x86_x32(-)?,abi_mips_n32(-)?,abi_mips_n64(-)?,abi_mips_o32(-)?,abi_ppc_32(-)?,abi_ppc_64(-)?,abi_s390_32(-)?,abi_s390_64(-)?] (sys-libs/readline:0=[abi_x86_32(-),abi_x86_64(-)]) required by (dev-db/sqlite-3.8.8.3:3/3::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) |
I think this means that I need to add abi_x86_32.
I found this wiki:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Multilib_System_without_emul-linux_Packages which I think describes my problem. But maybe it is no longer up to date(?). Anyways, it says that abi_x86_32 should not be put in global useflags, but this seams quite complicated I think. And maybe more relevant if using overlays (which I'm not)?
So, can/should I instead add abi_x86_32 to my global use flags like other has done?
I have tried ABI_X86="64 32" in my make.conf, but that does not seam to make any difference afaict.
Any thoughts on this are appreciated!
Cheers,
Micael

Read carefully through the news item, it contains most if not all of the relevant info.
| Code: | $ eselect news list
$ eselect news read <number>
|
Switching it on globally will result in a huge rebuild of several hundred packages, most of which you probably won't actually need with 32 bit. On the other hand you're safe in case you are not so sure about the actual dependencies of your commercial software (i.e. when it isn't installed through portage).
Instead, using --autounmask-write would make portage put together a list of required use flag changes to be applied to package.use. |

Thanks, I saw someone else also referring to the news, but I cannot find this particular news. 
Maybe I have deleted it, but I normally don't delete news nowadays.

So I guess the news item said something along the lines
emerge -uvaD world --backtrack=300 --newuse --autounmask-write
But this gives me an insane long list of issues;

But maybe I just have to dive into it? |

| Frankly, do you think that having dozens of abi_x86_32 records in package.use is normal? |

I simply put it in make.conf - I don't sit around watching it compile.
