Personally, I prefer option 1. That said, there is a reason for Options |
| 30 |
2 and 3. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
When using a minor arch, a lot of packages are not keyworded for that |
| 33 |
arch, which then requires me to install them with KEYWORDS="**" and that |
| 34 |
pulls in live ebuilds all the time. Personally, I'm fine dealing with |
| 35 |
things like that, but that would be a valid reason for requiring |
| 36 |
package.mask. That said, if we want to persue that, I would say that we |
| 37 |
should start adding keywords to live ebuilds (~arch obviously) and |
| 38 |
p.mask them so we know what arches it is expected to work on. |
