16 You can tell eix not to warn you about anything in the perl-experimental
17 overlay. Here's what I've done for the haskell overlay.
18
19 $ cat /etc/portage/package.nowarn
20 # Disable eix's REDUNDANT_IF_NO_CHANGE tests for the wildcard.
21 */*::gentoo-haskell in_keywords no_change
22
23 You may have to adjust the "in_keywords no_change" part, depending on
24 the specific type of freak-out you're experiencing. The options are all
25 documented in the eix man page under package.nowarn.
