1 On a related matter, maybe it would be a good idea to change the text in
2 make.conf about ACCEPT_KEYWORDS.

4 # Advanced Masking
5 # ================
6 #
7 # Gentoo is using a new masking system to allow for easier stability testing
8 # on packages. KEYWORDS are used in ebuilds to mask and unmask packages
9 based
10 # on the platform they are set for. A special form has been added that
11 # indicates packages and revisions that are expected to work, but have
12 not yet
13 # been approved for the stable set. '~arch' is a superset of 'arch' which
14 # includes the unstable, in testing, packages. Users of the 'x86'
15 architecture
16 # would add '~x86' to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to enable unstable/testing packages.
17 # '~ppc', '~sparc' are the unstable KEYWORDS for their respective platforms.
18 #
19 # Please note that this is not for development, alpha, beta, nor cvs release
20 # packages. "Broken" packages will not be added to testing and should not be
21 # requested to be added. Alternative routes are available to developers
22 # for experimental packages, and it is at their discretion to use them.
23 #
24 # DO NOT PUT ANYTHING BUT YOUR SPECIFIC ~ARCHITECTURE IN THE LIST.
25 # IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR ARCH, OR THE IMPLICATIONS, DO NOT MODIFY THIS.
26 #
27 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"[/code]

31 # Using this may let your system unstable, use it at your own risk. If
32 you only want to test a few packages, consider including them in
33 package.keywords instead.
