Argh. Stop this nonsense. Read about differences between ~arch mask and hardmask in handbook before filling bugzilla with useless bugreports! If you were able to install and start something on single system it does not mean it's tested and stable!
ok, ok, thought this was still the common way for requesting to add ~amd64 to packages. at least 1 or 2 years ago it was the common way. so i do what the handbook says and ask for testing of app-editors/amyedit on x86_64. but in this special case is to say that this piece of software is so small that i don't expect problems with it. it's just an editor which i wouldn't expect hardware specific code. best regards and sorry for trouble Georg Schild
No, you're right, this *is* the correct way to request ~amd64.
I can confirm, app-editors/amyedit-0.9 is stable enough for marking ~amd64; but -0.8 is not.

No point in making an older version and a newer version both the same keyword, anyway. 0.9 marked ~amd64, thanks for reporting and testing.
