Attempting to build OpenOCD live (ver. 9999) I get the following error: !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-embedded/openocd-9999" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-embedded/openocd-9999 (masked by: missing keyword) The problem turns out to be missing keywords in the version conditional is not supplied. Further, the ESVN_REPO_URI is only needed for the live version. To resolve this I made the following changes (diff): 5d4 < ESVN_REPO_URI="http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openocd/trunk" 9,10c8,9 < KEYWORDS="" < SRC_URI="" --- > KEYWORDS="~x86" > ESVN_REPO_URI="http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openocd/trunk" While I am still unable to get OpenOCD to compile, these are unrelated issues I will address in other bug reports. =============

-9999 (or "live") ebuild should never be keyworded.
Well, then roughly 50% of all live ebuilds in the tree are invalid, and your reply was not at all helpful. The issues is that using the old unmask "*" or "~x86" does not work with KEYWORDS="". Digging around I did find a solution (from Bug#:160519): Added support for a '**' token to be used in package.keywords in r5759 to match any package (even with KEYWORDS=""). Once that is released there is no more reason for abusing KEYWORDS="-*". Now the proper syntax is simply: dev-embedded/openocd ** dev-embedded/libftd2xx * ~x86 Since the prior unmask behaviour used -* or ~x86, etc., it might be helpful to simply add a comment to the live ebuild similar to: # to unmask add "dev-embedded/openocd **" to /etc/package.keywords # (see bugs 160519, 267941, and ...) As a note, I've only been using gentoo since the fall of 2001 and this is the first time I've gotten bitten by this particular issue. I bothered to post a reply so that others searching for solutions might stumble onto this.
Live ebuilds should not have keywords. Some maintainers are lazy, so some ebuilds do have them. But that's the bug, not the lack of keywords. Closing.
agreed, the bug is not in OpenOCD but in the other ebuilds. Hopefully, this exchange will help others find the appropriate solution.
