Hello!
linux_base-8 installed without a hitch, but linux-gtk2 and
its dependencies kept complaining about amd64. I had to patch
them all with
-ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386
+ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 amd64
and rename distinfo.i386 back into distinfo for the time being.
linux-jpeg was a special case, requiring the following patch:
-RPM_SET= libjpeg-6b-15.${MACHINE_ARCH}.rpm
+RPM_SET= libjpeg-6b-15.${MACHINE_ARCH:S/amd64/i386/}.rpm
As a result linux-firefox installed and is usable.
Is this problem just an oversight or was there a conscientious decision
to limit these ports to i386, when amd64 is also perfectly capable to
use them?
