The "~*" keyword is obviously deprecated and should be replaced by "**" for things like SVN builds. Since SynCE isn't particularly dependant on any OS arch we just differentiate between stable (e.g. -0.10), unstable (-0.11) and SVN (-9999) ebuilds, masked with "x86/amd64", "~x86/~amd64" and "**" respectively. Setting "~x86/~amd64" to both 0.11 and SVN ebuilds makes it impossible to emerge the 0.11 release with the standard app-pda/synce-* ~x86 keyword, since SVN builds are always emerged. I didn't encounter that error since I still emerge directly from SVN (hopefully the next SynCE release will prove stable enough for my daily routines :), and I'll downgrade from SVN to ~x86.
