Useless? well, not exactly. ~amd64 marked packages in it are redundant, but every box I put wine on runs git builds (=app-emulation/wine-9999 in the portage tree), and as such has to have a "=app-emulation/wine-9999 **" line in package.keywords to get around being "masked by missing keyword." Of course, this also involves me knowing full well that, in the process of any rebuild of wine, I could end up with a terribly broken install and potential data loss, as is true of running anything from sources that aren't even being released as "stable" even by the upstream developers. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
