4 I would at least write this sort of thing as "=app-cdr/k3b-1.2.3-r17
5 ~x86" or something like that, or else, if I wanted to be proper in
6 every way, I'd make a portage overlay. Either way, you won't get
7 informed of new versions unless they are ~amd64, but that's probably
8 close to what you want with an 'untested' program.

12 Does that actually work? Why, yes, I see it is keyworded for ~amd64.
13 In any case, what you have just tells the system to use the latest x86
14 'unstable' version, but it's going to get built for amd64
15 regardless. You can change the ~x86 to ~amd64, and probably you can do
16 the same for a lot of the other packages.
