-Title: CPU_FLAGS_X86 introduction
-Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org>
-Content-Type: text/plain
-Posted: 2015-01-28
-Revision: 2
-News-Item-Format: 1.0

-
-The USE flags corresponding to the instruction sets and other features
-specific to the x86 (amd64) architecture are being moved into a separate
-USE flag group called CPU_FLAGS_X86.
-
-In order not to lose CPU-specific optimizations, users will be required
-to update their make.conf (and package.use) file. For example, if
-the following USE flags were present:
-
- USE="mmx mmxext sse sse2 sse3"
-
-Those flags need to be copied into:
-
- CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx mmxext sse sse2 sse3"
-
-Please note that the same CPU_FLAGS_X86 variable is used both on x86
-and amd64 systems.
-
-When in doubt, you can consult the flag descriptions using one of
-the commonly available tools, e.g. `equery uses` from gentoolkit:
-
- $ equery uses media-video/ffmpeg
-
-Most of the flag names match /proc/cpuinfo names, with the notable
-exception of SSE3 which is called 'pni' in /proc/cpuinfo (please also
-do not confuse it with distinct SSSE3).
-
-To help users enable the correct USE flags, we are providing a tool
-that generates the correct value for the local CPU. It can be found
-in the app-portage/cpuid2cpuflags package:
-
- $ emerge -1v app-portage/cpuid2cpuflags
- $ cpuinfo2cpuflags-x86
-
-In order to ensure safe migration and maintain compatibility with
-external repositories, it is recommended to preserve the old USE
-settings for a period of one year or until no package of interest is
-still using them.

-Title: True multilib support on amd64
-Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org>
-Content-Type: text/plain
-Posted: 2015-03-28
-Revision: 1
-News-Item-Format: 1.0
-Display-If-Keyword: amd64
-Display-If-Keyword: ~amd64
-
-Starting on 2015-03-29, we are enabling true multilib support on amd64
-and masking the old emul-linux-x86 package sets for removal. This
-change provides our users with the opportunity to build 32-bit libraries
-from source with all the flexibility given by ebuilds and the security
-of using mainline ebuilds, rather than relying on pre-packaged binary
-versions of them.
-
-The switch to the new system is likely to require a specific action from
-the users of our multilib profiles. Since the new system collides with
-the old one, the Package Manager must be able to clearly satisfy all
-the dependencies using the new system in order to proceed. This may
-require unmerging packages installed from third-party repositories that
-have not been updated to support the new system.
-
-In order to enable building necessary 32-bit libraries, users will be
-required to enable the abi_x86_32 USE flag on respective packages.
-This can be done using /etc/portage/package.use entries alike
-the following:
-
- sys-libs/zlib abi_x86_32
-
-In most of the cases, Portage will be able to deliver correct
-suggestions for that when using the --autounmask feature. However, some
-users may prefer setting ABI_X86 globally to enable 32-bit libraries
-in all packages that support building them. This can be done using
-the following package.use entry:
-
- */* abi_x86_32
-
-In case of issues, blockers especially, users are recommended
-to manually uninstall any emul-linux-x86 packages that may have been
-installed on their systems. This will aid the Package Manager
-in choosing the correct dependency resolution path. If using Portage,
-this can be done using the following command:
-
- $ emerge -C 'app-emulation/emul-linux-x86*'
-
-Note: 32-bit applications may be temporarily broken after this step.
-Therefore, it should be followed by a @world upgrade immediately.
