All versions of chromium currently appear to be masked.

Doesn't seem to be right, shouldn't there always be a stable build? |

But so what? It's a problem if there is no stable build in portage. |

A package cannot be stabilized until it meets the stabilization criteria. This is an arch dependent process and is the reason Gentoo is a solid distro.
If you want to use a program that has not been proven to meet that critrea all you need to do is use the tools provided. _________________ First things first, but not necessarily in that order.
Apologies if I take a while to respond. I'm currently working on the dematerialization circuit for my blue box. |

We have to follow what they do. What is the gentoo timeline for sunsetting 32 bit support? I thought it was going to be a while. Sounds like the taunting of the uncool has begun. |

As with most things in Gentoo, x86 32 bit support will continue as long as there are an adequate number of volunteers maintaining it. If too many volunteers drop out, x86 might be moved to a status of lesser or even no support. Personally, I doubt this will happen any time soon, as there are plenty of semi-embedded systems that still run in x86 mode. Personally, I would use x86_64 mode on any hardware that supports it. |

I would argue that x86 is already understaffed and much lesser supported. Particularly for desktops. There simply is no reason to run it on 90% of hardware therefore most devs don't bother with it. It may work, but you shouldn't expect the same level of care taken with amd64 since that is what everyone is running.
I doubt there will ever be an official announcement. It will just sort of happen. Exactly like your problem with chromium. If no one is putting in the work the job won't get done. _________________ First things first, but not necessarily in that order.

Now the version of libreofficw I use (5.3.4.2) has apparently
Been deleted from portage. I have to do a major
Upgrade or downgrade. I suspect a similar issue. |
