package.keywords can be a directory instead of a file, in which case the "file" |
| 12 |
that ends up getting used is the concatenation of all of the files in the |
| 13 |
directory. It lets you split your keywords up rather than having one large |
| 14 |
monolithic file. In my case: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
$ ll /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/ |
| 17 |
total 28 |

The KDE file for example is provided on the Gentoo KDE page for unmasking all |
| 23 |
of the files necessary for KDE 4.9, and you don't have to merge it into your |
| 24 |
personal keywords file. You have to be careful not to leave any xxx~ backup |
| 25 |
files in the directory, because they count as well. |

The same applies to package.use. The new style is for the file/directory to be |
| 28 |
called package.accept_keywords. There's more info in "man 5 portage". |
