Well, I just tried something that seems to work, but has me confused or missing the routine reading of new portage features.....
Anyway upon a routine update (using portage 2.2_rc33 and sets for kde4) I got a message: All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-python/sip-4.8.1" have been masked. One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-python/sip-4.8.1 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword) So I just added this line to package.keywords: " >=dev-python/sip-4.8.1 " and it got passed that problem..... 'man portage' does not show the use of the (><=) syntax as an example for emerge....? Obviously, I'm behind on my routine reading. Is this a no-no? Where can I read more about what's going on with the newest changes to emerge/portage/etc.....? James
