I think he was trying to point out that ~x86 will give you a newer version |
| 16 |
of dir2ogg even if you're running PPC or something else. It's not a good |
| 17 |
idea, because it could give you a known-broken-on-PPC version that's in |
| 18 |
testing for x86 (if there were such a version) or not give you a testing |
| 19 |
version for PPC known to be broken on x86, but portage doesn't |
| 20 |
fundamentally care whether your keywords actually make any sense together. |
