Right after I bragged about flavors working, 0.12.4 had to change them a bit. It turns out there are cases where you want a trove to have multiple instruction sets. The most obvious of these is a group that contains troves for both x86 and x86_64, but multilib packages raise the same set of issues.

To allow this, we had to change a two things:

  1. Multiple instruction sets are allowed in a flavor now
  2. The format of a flavor string changed to [[use:] useflags]? [is: [isname(isflags)]*]

Got that?

Alright, here are some examples:

  • ssl is: x86
  • use: ssl is: x86
  • ssl,readline is: x86(mmx)
  • is: x86(sse) x86_64(3dnow)

There were some other fixes in there, but this one will actually be noticed by those who read the output of repquery --all carefully since it changes how flavors are printed.
