As a maintainer I can tell you that when you drop keywords on B because it needs non keyworded A, then drop keywords on C because it needs latest B then drop keywords on D because it needs latest C, you have completely forgotten that some arches need A, which ones, etc. There are scripts for this, and I hope arch teams that like to have a list use them. As occasionally doing fbsd keywording, I almost never read nor use a list that is provided since the above scenario often occurs (or at least used to). Instead of this, I do a depth-first keywording of packages repoman tells are missing. The deepest package is in the latest tab of my terminal emulator :) I'll run repoman anyway, and this approach allows a double checking. Also, since this means I'll start committing from the leaves of the depgraph, this ensures no package has broken deps between commits (with the exception of circular deps of course). A.
