Hello,
after solving the libthr.so problem being overwritten by the -m32 version,
the upgrade went flawlessly in one hit. Congratulations!
Nevertheless, three minor observations :
- mergebase.sh failed (after resolving conflicts) with "Merge failed."
But the script removes ${errfile}. A mv in case of error
might be better to have a trace why (I bluntly restarted
the script ...).
- I did not have the xorg meta-port installed but just xorg-server.
In that case, the upgrade path does not seem to install
x11-drivers/xorg-drivers.
This might be obvious for experienced xorg7.2 users, but for
me as a newbie it took me some time to find (especially
since this board has some VIA Unichrome VGA chipset which did
not work under 6.9 either so I did not look directly for
a missing port).
It might be worthwhile to add a note on this.
- As above, but this time for the fonts : x11-fonts/font-alias
seems not to be installed if you have just a subset
of xorg-fonts installed rather than the metaport.
That said, thanx for all your great work.
Regards,
Arno
PS. Xorg now works OK in vesa and via mode; I might give the
unichrome driver a shot later if I have time.
