By manually editing the ebuilds, I've gotten net-mail/sendmail 8.12.10, net-dns/hesiod 3.0.2, app-office/gnumeric-1.2.2 and app-editors/bluefish-0.12 to compile and work succesfully on ~alpha. Could someone please add keywords for alpha for these in portage? Thank you.
I marked these stable on alpha, thanks. (Actually I marked gnumeric-1.2.6 instead of 1.2.2)
