Use /etc/portage/package.keywords (with an actual keyword, instead of the |
| 13 |
default ~ARCH) or your local overlay. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
However, a missing keyword (like neither amd64 nor ~amd64) indicates that |
| 16 |
the ebuild has not been tested on that architecture. If the ebuild DOES |
| 17 |
work, report it on b.g.o. (Actually, even if it doesn't, you should |
| 18 |
probably report it, because then the -ARCH keyword can be added which |
| 19 |
means "tested and does not work".) |
