We'd like to achieve omg-awesome portability (I care much more about other architectures than operating systems though). Hopefully the scheme we have in mind will allow for the needed flexibility.
Is it just me or does there appear to be a "CRUX SECRET UNDERGROUND", it seems there's a lot of discussion that doesn't even make it to -devel...
We have of course looked at your multiarch solution, but found it to be kind of ugly.
Well yeah, it is kinda ugly I guess. But it did make life easy for me by allowing automatic merging with the official repos, and being perhaps the only 64bit multilib CRUX user I'm sure the reasons for such a feature are apparent. I initially looked at using the repo-per-architecture setup, but there was too much hand editing involved, I had to essentially edit 2 ports every time there was a version change. This also made writing compat32 ports rather tedious. But it seems this is the way we are going, so I guess I'll start splitting up my multiarch repos. Perhaps git-rebase -i can make merging a bit less hassle. -- Lucas Hazel <lucas@die.net.au>
