Sorry for late response.

I deleted keywords when bumping to 4.0, since I did not have the ability to test the dropped platforms.

For future reference, I would appreciate it if someone could point me towards what I should have done instead.

Surely there's no reason for the (unstable) ppc keywords to be missing. Are only official maintainers permitted to make such a keyword adjustment, because this is a very easy PR to prepare to resolve this.

Originally, I dropped the keywords when bumping to the 4.x series because some dependencies were missing for the platforms, and I didn’t have the hardware to work towards fixing that.

What would those dependencies be? The only dep for Awesome 4.2 that potentially doesn't support ppc/ppc64, based on my guess, is dev-lua/lgi, but not only does that package support those architectures, it's marked as stable. Lua itself and the X packages definitely support ppc/ppc64, and that basically summarises the list of deps that Awesome has.

So is there really anything preventing you from preserving the ~ppc ~ppc64 keywords for the 4.x ebuilds?

[Comment 7 Tomoya Tabuchi 2018-01-31 05:10:50 UTC]

When I bumped the version, repoman told me that dependencies were missing, so I disabled the keywords.

I don’t have time to go back and investigate at the moment.
I’m very sorry.

[Comment 8 Rob 2018-02-01 02:07:06 UTC]

I've tested with repoman to find out what is the problem. We need the following packages to by keyworded for ppc and ppc64

x11-libs/xcb-util-xrm
dev-lua/ldoc

The xcb pacakge should be able to be built on PPC/PPC64 and the other package is pure Lua code, so it's certainly eligible as well.

[Comment 9 Tomoya Tabuchi 2018-02-09 06:00:26 UTC]

Thank you for going back and taking a look at the dependencies.

I requested ~ppc and ~ppc64 to be added to x11-lib/xcb-util-xrm (https://bugs.gentoo.org/647084)

Since I am the (proxyed) maintainer for dev-lua/ldoc, I'll go and add the keywords for it.

Either keyword dev-lua/ldoc dev-lua/penlight or mask USE=doc, I guess, but the Package list doesn't allow sensible input like that.

[Comment 14 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2018-03-18 11:40:15 UTC]

~ppc64 keyworded

Ended up keywording the following on ppc64:

# bug #638470
=x11-wm/awesome-4.2-r1
=x11-libs/xcb-util-xrm-1.2
=dev-lua/ldoc-1.4.6
=dev-lua/penlight-1.3.2

[Comment 15 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2018-03-18 19:37:40 UTC]

~ppc keyworded

Last arch. Closing.
