Actually that is not correct. Note the - before the ~. I read man |
| 21 |
portage and found out about this (see below). It mentions running |
| 22 |
mostly stable and mostly unstable. |

It is true that the primary reason for my using testing is for gnome-3. |
| 29 |
My long term goal is to go to stable for my main system. But, of |
| 30 |
course, that takes quite a bit of time to let the unstable packages die |
| 31 |
off (or quite a bit of effort to force the downgrades). |

I am running sys-apps/systemd-207-r2. Booting has become MUCH worse. |

I will send details to you off list. |

package.accept_keywords and package.keywords |
| 47 |
Per-package ACCEPT_KEYWORDS. Useful for mixing |
| 48 |
unstable packages in with a normally stable system |
| 49 |
or vice versa. This will allow ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to |
| 50 |
be augmented for a single package. |

Example: |

# always use unstable libgd |
| 56 |
media-libs/libgd ~x86 |
| 57 |
# only use stable mplayer |
| 58 |
media-video/mplayer -~x86 |
