1 Hey folks,
2
3 Just a public service announcement, but you generally shouldn't try
4 using packages marked -* (ie by adding dev-java/foo -* to
5 /etc/portage/package.keywords). Packages marked this way are likely to
6 not build, not run, and kick your dog. For example, I'm working on a
7 revision of Eclipse, 3.2_rc6-r1 which uses some patches from Fedora, and
8 haven't quite worked it all out, so it dies about 10 minutes into the
9 build.... So to summarize, be _very_ careful what you use that's marked -*.
