In bug #132538, we need fop for the a2x tool that has been added to latest asciidoc, but we would lose quite a lot of keywords. Would it be possible to request ~ keywords for the following archs: ~alpha ~hppa ~ia64 ~mips ~ppc-macos ~ppc64 ~sparc? Thanks.
The only archs in that list that we actively support for Java are ia64 and ppc64. All the others lack usable JDKs.
And could it be possible to request keywords for those two archs, then? It would reduce the number of archs on which a2x is not provided. Thanks.
Despite being supported, those archs happen to be the least active Java wise.... so they lack a lot of keywords for Java stuff. So while it is certainly possible to request keywords, it may take a little time.

@Betelgeuse: yes, we will USE flag it (I don't know with which name, though). As far as I know, the latest ebuild does not provide a2x at all.
added ~ppc64 last arch CC'd -> marking as FIXED
