www-apps/wordpress is not hardmasked. It is marked ~arch, something |
12 |
entirely different. The correct description for this package is |
13 |
"keyworded unstable" |

packages are keyworded unstable because they are not yet ready for |
29 |
prime-time, or the maintainer hasn't gotten around to marking it stable |
30 |
yet, or no-one has submitted a stabilization request to b.g.o yet |
31 |

We don't know which of these apply |
33 |
|
34 |
Just add www-apps/wordpress to package.accept_keywords and emerge it. |
35 |
You will soon find out if it suits your needs and it won't eat your kittens. |

No, that does not make sense. The only thing that works like wordpress |
43 |
is wordpress. If you need to use wordpress then install wordpress. |
44 |
|
45 |
There exists other blogging software of course but they are not wordpress. |

I doubt it does what you apear to think it does. vimpress is a wordpress |
53 |
editing tool running in the vim editor. It connects to a wordpress blog |
54 |
and let's you do the edits in vim instead of some other editing tool. |
55 |
But you still need to have access to a wordpress blog for it to work |

Are you certain you need to run the wordpress software locally? |
60 |
Will you not instead be editing a blog hosted elsewhere? |
