RE: [gentoo-alpha]

[Brian C. Parkhurst]

Thanks, that’s the trick I was looking for.
I knew bugzilla wasn't keyworded for Alpha, and wanted to test it anyway.
The Gentoo handbook isn't very clear on this subject.  It seemed to imply that I
only needed the package.unmask and package.keywords files set.
