Hi, I've stumbled upon an inconsitency between package managers the other day [1], which was due to both an ebuild and an eclass defining inconsisting KEYWORDS.
bla-1.ebuild: inherit myeclass KEYWORDS="~arch" myeclass.eclass: KEYWORDS="arch" Portage will resolve this by overwriting the variable, so the last (~arch) wins. Paludis, on the other hand, merges the variables, so it is KEYWORDS="~arch arch". The PMS draft [2] defines that "IUSE, DEPEND, RDEPEND and PDEPEND" variables be merged when defined in both eclass and ebuild (Section 7.2), but only says "May be defined in an eclass" about KEYWORDS (Section 8.2). Anyone up to toss a coin whose bug it is, and maybe we can have a more specific wording in the PMS?
