It lets you split your keywords up rather than having one large monolithic file.

You have to be careful not to leave any xxx~ backup files in the directory, because they count as well. The same applies to package.use. The new style is for the file/directory to be called package.accept_keywords. There's more info in man 5 portage. Cheers, Bryan

Which also means, that moving the old file in there would also work. Though that is somehow against the idea of it…

I.e. if one use file has app-fu/bar flag1 and another use file has app-fu/bar flag2 is that equivalant to one combined use file with app-fu/bar flag1 flag2 -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org

The relevant part of man portage is under /etc/portage/: Any file in this directory that begins with package. can be more than just a flat file. If it is a directory, then all the files in that directory will be sorted in ascending alphabetical order by file name and summed together as if it were a single file. Cheers, Bryan
[gentoo-user] Gentoo on a Beaglebone
Hi, here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~armin76/arm/beaglebone/install.xml I found a description how to setup a Gentoo for a Beaglebone, an Cortex A8 Linux platform. When I did: crossdev -S armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabi I got this message: /rootcrossdev -S armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabi * crossdev version: 20120531 * Host Portage ARCH: amd64 * Target Portage ARCH: arm * Target System: armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabi * Stage: 4 (C/C++ compiler) * ABIs: default * binutils: binutils-[stable] * gcc: gcc-[stable] * headers: linux-headers-[stable] * libc: glibc-[stable] * CROSSDEV_OVERLAY: /var/lib/layman/pro-audio * PORT_LOGDIR: /var/log/portage * PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT: * Portage flags: _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - * please convert /etc/portage/package.keywords to a directory !!! * If you file a bug, please attach the following logfiles: * /var/log/portage/cross-armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabi-info.log What is meant with please convert /etc/portage/package.keywords to a directory What will happen to the contents of that file?
