10 If you're asking what the meaning of the RESTRICT= options are, they're
11 listed in the man page for ebuild(5), including:
12
13 test do not run src_test even if user has FEATURES=test.
14
15 which likely means that the package in question has a test suite that is
16 known to be broken, on Gentoo or in general.
17
18 (Side note: the man page only has one entry for PROPERTIES although eix
19 knows of at least 4. Is there somewhere else this kind of portage
20 information is documented?)
