Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
TL;DR: should NATTkA reject request to keyword on arch if the ebuild has |
| 4 |
'-arch' (or '-*') in KEYWORDS already? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
|

Background: I've recently been rekeywording two packages that gained |
| 8 |
dependency on gevent. When I was mass-requesting rekeywording, it |
| 9 |
escaped my attention that gevent is explicitly marked '-ia64'. The arch |
| 10 |
team apparently got mad at me and added gevent to their package.mask to |
| 11 |
make its breakage more explicit. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I think it would make sense if NATTkA detected '-ia64' there and told me |
| 14 |
that the package is keyword-masked on ia64. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The flip side is that it would prevent people from using NATTkA to |
| 17 |
restore keywords that were marked '-arch' before. Of course, if this |
| 18 |
would ever be necessary it could easily be resolved via removing '-arch' |
| 19 |
first or adding some extra hack. |

WDYT? |
