NOTE: The advice given below is not recommended for working around |
| 9 |
packages that are masked or lack sparc keywords. Specifically, if an |
| 10 |
ebuild has a -sparc keyword, it is known the software is broken. |

Chances are you didn't do it quite right. You'll probably want an |
| 13 |
entry like "net-analyzer/snort ~x86" in package.keywords. If I add |
| 14 |
this to /etc/portage/package.keywords on a sparc system with stable |
| 15 |
keywords, I can now emerge snort-2.4.5. |
