1 Well, I just tried something that seems to work,
2 but has me confused or missing the routine reading
3 of new portage features.....

5
6 Anyway upon a routine update (using portage 2.2_rc33
7 and sets for kde4) I got a message:
8
9
10 All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-python/sip-4.8.1" have been masked.
11 One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
12 - dev-python/sip-4.8.1 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
13
14
15 So I just added this line to package.keywords:
16
17 " >=dev-python/sip-4.8.1 "
18
19

21 and it got passed that problem.....

24 'man portage' does not show the use of the (><=) syntax
25 as an example for emerge....?
26
27
28 Obviously, I'm behind on my routine reading. Is this
29 a no-no? Where can I read more about what's going on
30 with the newest changes to emerge/portage/etc.....?
