So let's make sure we're on the same page -- here's my understanding. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
1) For @system packages, we will have KEYWORDS="ppc" for the stable |
| 52 |
versions and KEYWORDS="~ppc" for the rest. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
2) For non @system packages we will remove both ppc and ~ppc keywords. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
3) If for some reason I need to add back a package to build/maintain |
| 57 |
stage3/4, I will rekeyword myself, but other than that, we will *not* |
| 58 |
balloon the keywords. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
4) I will take on the responsibility of stabilizing ppc @system packages |
| 61 |
if need be. |
