hmm; missed a biggie - sys-devel/gcc which is stable for amd64 at 3.4.4-r1 and stable for x86 on 3.3.5.20050130-r1. The only way I can think of to deal with amd64/x86 differences other than via an arch keyword is to use masking in profiles. i.e. to mark both versions stable and mask the unwanted version in 'packages'. The downside is that what would have been a testing version is now masked by the profile, and profile masking is a much stronger statement than simply keywording ~. Is there a way to deal with this sort of thing in profiles, without masking? -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
