Heads up. Historically, the prefix tree contained *only* ebuilds that |
| 3 |
were tested to work. As such, they had "prefix" style keywords. |
| 4 |
(~amd64-linux, ~ppc-macos, etc). Going forward, our tree will be having |
| 5 |
more and more ebuilds that have not been tested to work with prefix. |
| 6 |
That is, no prefix keywords but maybe ~amd64, ppc, etc. You cannot set |
| 7 |
your ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to "amd64" and expect an unchecked ebuild to just |
| 8 |
work for prefix. |

I've seen more than one person on IRC ask about this, a guaranteed way |
| 11 |
to set yourself up for failure. If an ebuild is missing your *prefix* |
| 12 |
keyword, then it needs to be fixed and file a bug for the working |
| 13 |
package. (We do not have the manpower/motivation to fix all the packages |
| 14 |
ourselves) |
