The name was changed from package.keywords to package.accept_keywords to match the variable name in make.conf. Either can be a directory, there's even an example in the portage man page of a directory with the new name. > I always tought autounmask would write > to the original package.* filename (since cross-* comes before > package.*) until I saw Alan's reply. Portage treats all the files in the directory as a single file, in lexical order. If it's a file, portage adds auto-unmask entries to the end ot make sure they are not counteracted by something else in the file. If you use a directory, portage adds the changes to the end of the last file for the same reason. As with many things, I though portage was doing the wrong thing by adding to the "wrong" file, until I realised just what it was doing and why. See the section on -autounmask-write in man emerge. -- Neil Bothwick Suicidal twin kills sister by mistake!
