No a -x86 keyword means that the package is tested and found not to work. |
| 12 |
Untested packages on an arch get no keywords. Packages that are tested by ONE |
| 13 |
developer on his own arch get a ~x86 keyword. When there is reasonable |
| 14 |
confidence that the package doesn't break anything (and isn't broken itself) |
| 15 |
the ~ is removed and we have a package that is considered stable for x86. |
