[gentoo-amd64] Re: ~* or -* Keyworded packages (JAVA)

[Miguel Filipe]

Hi again all,

Still relating to keyworded packages, why doesn't this work?

miguel@feynman ~ $ fgrep KEYWORD /usr/portage/dev-java/sun-jdk/sun-
jdk-1.5.0.06.ebuild
KEYWORDS="~x86 ~amd64 -*"
miguel@feynman ~ $ sudo fgrep sun-jdk /etc/portage/package.unmask
>=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0
miguel@feynman ~ $ sudo fgrep sun-jdk /etc/portage/package.keywords
dev-java/sun-jdk ~amd64
miguel@feynman ~ $ emerge sun-jdk -pv

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sun-jdk" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.06 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)


or this:
trying to emerge GCC 4.0.2
----
miguel@feynman ~ $ sudo fgrep gcc /etc/portage/package.*
/etc/portage/package.keywords:# gcc4
/etc/portage/package.keywords:sys-devel/gcc -*
/etc/portage/package.unmask:=sys-devel/gcc-4.0.2-r2
miguel@feynman ~ $ sudo fgrep KEYWORDS /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/gcc-
4.0.2-r2.ebuild
KEYWORDS="-*"
miguel@feynman ~ $ emerge gcc -pv

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
