Yes, I hope so. Since I never build with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" but |
24 |
rather put all keywords in package.keywords, I've rebuilt almost all |
25 |
the ~x86 applications with ~amd64. I have not done the --emptytree |

rebuild yet and may not for the next week or two just to see how |
27 |
things go. |
