25 If you are using the kde-testing overlay, there are files that you can
26 symlink under /etc/portage/package.{keywords,unmask}/ to unmask/keyword
27 particular versions of KDE. Note also that "any file in [/etc/portage]
28 that begins with 'package.' can be more than just a flat file. If it is
29 a directory, then all the files in that directory will be sorted in
30 ascending alphabetical order by file name and summed together as if it
31 were a single file" (from portage(5)). To be precise, it can be an
32 entire directory tree, and still work the same way.
33
34 A line in package.keywords without any KEYWORDS implies "~${ARCH}"
35 (again, see portage(5)).
36
37 With the exception of sets and FEATURES=preserved-libs, everything in
38 portage-2.2 is in portage-2.1.6.*, which is now stable just about
39 everywhere, so this behavior is at least that old (although I believe it
40 has been around longer).
