11 I don't have an ebuild for that version on beryl, so I can't tell you what
12 keywords can be used. But, I can tell you how to find out.
13
14 e.g.:
15 $ grep KEYWORD beryl-plugins-0.1.3.ebuild
16 KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~ppc ~ppc64 ~x86"
17
18 So, you can simply find the KEYWORDS variable in the ebuild you are trying
19 to use and add one of those keywords to your package.keywords. Of course,
20 if you do anything other than ~${ARCH}, where ${ARCH} is your current
21 architecture and it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
