Description Christian Korff 2004-06-20 05:27:13 UTC
in skel.ebuild we mention that there are 4 offical archictures but there are more than 4 offical architectures that are supported by Gentoo.

# Using KEYWORDS, we can record masking information *inside* an ebuild
# instead of relying on an external package.mask file. Right now, you
# should set the KEYWORDS variable for every ebuild so that it contains
# the names of all the architectures with which the ebuild works. We have
# 4 official architecture names right now: "~x86", "~ppc", "~sparc"
# and "~alpha".  The ~ in front of the architecture indicates that the
# package is new and should be considered unstable until testing proves its
# stability.  Once packages go stable the ~ prefix is removed.
# So, if you've confirmed that your ebuild works on x86 and ppc,
# you'd specify: KEYWORDS="~x86 ~ppc"
