Loongson 2F N32 stage3 is now available on gentoo mirrors

It is under experimental/mips/stages/loongson/. Like:
http://mirrors.xmu.edu.cn/gentoo/experimental/mips/stages/loongson/
I should have done it long ago, just don't familiar with catalyst and catalyst lacks documentation.

Thanks to leio and robbat2 for making it happen.

I have already included kernel modules in the stage3. You can find the corresponding kernel here:
http://www.gentoo-cn.org/~zhangle/

If you want to build your own kernel, use the source here:
http://dev.lemote.com/code/linux-loongson-community/wiki/WikiStart

You also need loongson overlay. Just use layman to add it. Of course you need to emerge layman first.

If you find portage ask you to downgrade packages, you can try this trick
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86 ~mips"
However you need to understand that there is no guarantee that software installed in this way would work. But at least some of them will work. Like perl. I have been using this for a long time. Some packages are not so easy to downgrade. So maybe you need to use this too. But remember, if the package really works, better file a keyword bug asking devs to add mips keyword to it.

Please note this is experimental, so I am afraid there will be problems. If you hit any, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Downloading it now... I hear N32 has been making great strides since I grabbed kanaka's multilib stage3, and spun out some rather rough N32 stages for mipsel some years back.

Shall be interesting, I'll have to get the big-endian port back on track in this regard too.

portage-2.2 preserve-libs FEATURES explained

Maybe I am not the right person to write about it. But I felt the necessity to write about it. So I will just write something about preserve-libs, leaving other FEATURES to more competent people. Portage-2.2 has already entered unstable tree. Many people has started using it. It has many new features, like preserve-libs, sets, license filter and so on. Please check README and RELEASE-NOTES for a complete list. I will only talk about preserve-libs. To understand why we need it, we have to know some background information. First of all, applications are not built from scratch. Any non trivial apps use lot of libraries. In GNU/Linux, most of them are shared libraries, i.e. .so files. You can use `ldd /usr/bin/mplayer` to check what shared libraries an app has been linked to, replace mplayer to whatever program you'd like to check. Shared libraries have versions. E.g. /usr/lib/libavformat.so.51, here 51 denotes its version. After upgrading, the version number may change. E.g. /usr/lib/...
