This seems as good a place as any to mention one of my many |
| 8 |
ideas. ...which are usually ignored, but I might have a good |
| 9 |
one someday. How about a new KEYWORDS flag to mark known-crapulent |
| 10 |
packages. Playing off the use of "~arch" (which I read as "maybe arch"), |
| 11 |
use "!arch" (which could be read "not arch") to mark packages which are |
| 12 |
somewhere between useless and alpha, but happen to be worth watching |
| 13 |
and developing. It would also be a great way to move the hard-masking |
| 14 |
features of packages.mask into the relevant ebuild. Looks like that |
| 15 |
might simplify a chunk of portage.py, too. |
