9 | Sure. But we've already established that there isn't a single place
10 | to look for a list of arches. I believe we left the conversation on
11 | IRC with Kurt looking into how to solve that one.

13 Look in the existing KEYWORDS of the package in question. Or, if you
14 prefer, nick the eshowkw script from my bashrc [1] and let it do it for
15 you :) Or, look in arch.list.

17 Disclaimer: that script is an ugly hack and now needs about a 120
18 character wide terminal. I might change the layout sometime...

24 Not many packages are keyworded on absolutely every arch. s390 and macos
25 come to mind.
