Subject: [gentoo-dev] Prevent to need to change all keywords at the same time

1 I recently noticed this:

4 imlib2 ebuild can only be stabilized in one round for all arches as
5 KEYWORDS are set in eclass depending on E_STATE="release". That has an
6 important drawback as forces all arches to be done at the same time and,
7 since some are much slower than others, forces all to wait for them.
8 And, as that can depend on even more stabilizations (like it's the case)
9 all that bugs blocking the stabilization need to also be done for *all*
10 arches before.

12 I am not sure if any policy exists for this, but I would forbid to make
13 this due this issue. I would instead move to use KEYWORDS en ebuild as
14 done usually.

16 What do you think?
