Ah... nevermind. It was not a problem with portage. 0.16.999.50 is not
even in the tree; it was added to the enlightenment overlay by
vapier. Apparently it inherits from the enlightenment eclass, which
has
<snip>
case ${EKEY_STATE:-${E_STATE}} in
release) KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 mips ppc ppc64 sh sparc
x86 ~x86-fbsd";;
snap) KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sh
~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd";;
live) KEYWORDS="";;
esac
</snip>
Can anyone tell me what this is about? I know some people on this list
use the enlightenment overlay: so why is it that the ebuilds for
0.16.999.50 and 9999, which don't look all that different to my untrained
eye, which both inherit enlightenment, and thus both set the KEYWORDS
using that snipplet above, will behave such that the former is trying
to be installed on my system while the latter is not?
