26 I have tried the additional combos below, but still cannot build the spca5xx port. The first one gives me invalid atom error the rest just give the package mask error mentioned in my first email.
27
28 =media-video/spca5xx
29 =media-video/spca5xx-20060501-r1 ~x86
30 <=media-video/spca5xx-20060501-r1 ~x86
31 >=media-video/spca5xx-20060501-r1 ~x86
32
33 funny thing is i got the masked zoneminder port to build using these in /etc/portage/package.keywords
34
35 www-misc/zoneminder
36 dev-perl/PHP-Serialization
