Darn. It does when using "=". I've always thought it didn't. |

Yes, it is a good idea. Sometimes I want to install a specific |
| 11 |
version, whether masked or not, and after that go back to tracking |
| 12 |
stable. Now I don't have to keep watching the package and remove |
| 13 |
it from package.keywords when it becomes stable. |

And looking in CVS it was there already in 2004. I must have |
| 18 |
misread it then, or done something wrong, which made me assume "=" |
| 19 |
didn't work in package.keywords. |

But there it doesn't say anything about = in the package.keywords |
| 24 |
section. It could use an extra example there. |

Now off to some editing in /etc/portage/. |
