  • [gentoo-dev] [PATCH v2 0/2] USE=experimental-loong masks, and LoongArch

    From WANG Xuerui@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 23 14:20:01 2022
    Hi,

    In order to support building for LoongArch in ::gentoo while some of the necessary bits are not upstreamed yet, recently it was discussed in #gentoo-toolchain that a new USE flag "experimental-loong" is to be
    added, force-masked on every ARCH except loong, that would bring the
    LoongArch patchset.

    The patchset is already integrated for sys-libs/glibc; this patch series
    takes care of sys-kernel/linux-headers. Also the mask is added for extra safety.

    For people more comfortable with GitHub workflow, this is also posted at https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/25162 .

    v2:
    - removed eclass changes; moved IUSE adjustment into ebuild
