Description Allen Brooker (AllenJB) 2009-07-13 10:36:19 UTC

net-mail/dbmail-2.3.4 has the following keywords:
KEYWORDS="-x86 -amd64"

It's not in package.mask.

So what DOES it work on, or why is it keyworded like this? If there's a known issue that's preventing it from compiling/working, surely it would be better to use package.mask with a descriptive message?

From looking at the cvs logs, this package has been like this for 7 months:
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/net-mail/dbmail/dbmail-2.3.4.ebuild?rev=1.2&view=log

2.3* are development releases.
And I agree, an entry in package.mask would be better.

removed it. will re-add it to my developer repository at a later point but this should prolly not be in the main tree anyway
