And I recommend that you do *not* set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 unless you |
| 7 |
are prepared for the consequences. |

It is very much a testing environment, where either the ebuild or the |
| 10 |
package itself might not be completely stable, or worse, incompatible |
| 11 |
with previous configuration files or other packages on your system. |
| 12 |
Baselayout and udev have been particularly 'dangerous' on ~x86 |
| 13 |
recently. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Additionally, ~x86 updates more frequently than x86, so you will have |
| 16 |
much more downloading and compiling to do at each update. |

Yes ~x86 does work most of the time, and the Gentoo devs are extremely |
| 19 |
good at fixing problems quickly. But it can be expected to break |
| 20 |
occasionally, and you need to know what do when it does. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If you want ~x86 for specific packages, use /etc/portage/package.keywords. |
