Case in question is, once again, multimedia/makemkv.
For a long time, the distfiles contained binaries of the closed-source
part for amd64 and i386 only, so naturally, the port had
ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=3D amd64 i386
Now, upstream started adding binaries for armv7 and aarch64. From these,
Linuxulator is only available on aarch64. Therefore the variable now
looks like this:
ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=3D aarch64 amd64 i386
This is, of course, exactly the default that USES=3Dlinux would set
anyways. Now I'm unsure whether I should just drop it and go with the
default?
Pro: It's actually the availability of Linuxulator that results in the
narrowest restriction now.
Con: The upstream software *is* restricted regarding ARCHs and maybe
this should stay being reflected.
What would you think is the better way to go?
Cheers, Felix
