No, but it instructs one to peek into man 5 ebuild for the info. If |
| 11 |
you look again at the portage manpage, the section on package.keywords |
| 12 |
states of the file format: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
"one DEPEND atom per line followed by additional KEYWORDS" |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
And at the top (Glossary) it says about these atoms: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
"DEPEND atom |
| 19 |
A string which matches a package. It is of the |
| 20 |
form category/package. It may also contain optional logical operators |
| 21 |
and versions. |
| 22 |
More reading: ebuild(5)" |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Follow this "more reading"-hint by entering "man 5 ebuild". The |
| 25 |
resulting manpage tells you quite extensively (even everything?) about |
| 26 |
the atoms, with many examples, and more. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
It takes a meticulous, technically inclined (or otherwise |
| 29 |
anal-retentive? :) ) mind to read these manpage-thingies which were |
| 30 |
structured and invented before the modern hypertext-intarweb hit the |
| 31 |
streets two decades ago. And sure, some of them are written badly, but |
| 32 |
IMHO the gentoo ones are pretty ok from a user's POV. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
So, as a conclusion, you probably want to use ~ instead of >= in there |
| 35 |
as you apparently are running a mostly stable box (arch) instead of |
| 36 |
testing (~arch)? |
