No no no no no. |

Don't add a ~sparc keyword to a package which previously had no (~)sparc |
| 9 |
keywords at all. |

When bumping, drop sparc keywords to ~sparc. If it's a really really big |
| 12 |
change, you might want to drop the sparc keyword entirely, but if you |
| 13 |
do, you *must* file a bug. There are a few exceptions to this rule |
| 14 |
(basically toolchain and kernel stuff), but if you work with these |
| 15 |
packages you know what they are. |

When bumping an ebuild where a new dep is introduced, and that new dep |
| 18 |
isn't in ~sparc, drop the sparc keyword and file a bug. Alternatively, |
| 19 |
if the new dep is a small easy to test package, prod one of us on irc |
| 20 |
and we might be able to get it keyworded straight off. |

Don't move things from ~sparc to sparc. |

*** ---> DO NOT EVER ADD A ~SPARC KEYWORD TO ANY NEW *PACKAGE* UNLESS |

YOU'VE ACTUALLY TESTED IT YOURSELF. <--- *** (Oh, and if you *have* |
| 26 |
tested it and you're not on the sparc@ alias, make sure we know what |
| 27 |
you're doing...) |
