36 Just a note: KDE dev don't decide whenever it becomes to ARCH instead
37 of ~ARCH, that is an ARCH gentoo maintainers. They are supposed to be
38 the ARCH specialists. When they think some app is stable in their ARCH,
39 it will be moved to ARCH from ~ARCH.
40
41 But if you wanna have the latest packages, just ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~ARCH"
42 where ARCH is your computers' architecture. Maybe your system will be a
43 little more unstable, but from my point of view, it is still stable
44 using ~x86 (mine haven't broken yet).
