This is caused by devmanual partially duplicating information in two places: http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/ebuild-maintenance/index.html#stabilizing-ebuilds -> It misses how to handle stabilization on exotic arches http://devmanual.gentoo.org/keywording/index.html -> It shows that info for keywording I mean to this part of http://devmanual.gentoo.org/keywording/index.html: "It's important to note that alternative arches (like alpha, arm, ia64, s390, sh, sparc, hppa, mips, ppc*) are mainly undermanned arches, some of them are slow, they have more basic problems and have a small userbase. Just file bugs for these architectures when a package is going to be a dependency of a package already keyworded." It should also apply to stabilization of a package that wasn't ever stabilized in that arch, and that info should be noted in both places (if we really want to have it duplicated) Reproducible: Always
We probably need a reference from http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/ebuild-maintenance/index.html#stabilizing-ebuilds to http://devmanual.gentoo.org/keywording/index.html right below/above the instructions for SPARC/Alpha/MIPS. Patches?
