Till now, I could restrain enablement of "~" like . . . app-emulation/vmware-workstation:0::mkn_local_overlay Now, only . . . app-emulation/vmware-workstation:0 enables the ~ ebuild. "Extended Atom Syntax" Repository Constraints Atoms with repository constraints have a '::' separator appended to the right side, followed by a repository name. Each repository name should correspond to the value of a repo_name entry from one of the repositories that is configured in repos.conf file.

To clarify, you're reporting that app-emulation/vmware-workstation:0::mkn_local_overlay is ineffective in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords? If so, that's surprising, because it's supposed to work.
(In reply to Zac Medico from comment #2) > app-emulation/vmware-workstation:0::mkn_local_overlay Yes, Zac, indeed, with . . . app-emulation/vmware-workstation:0::mkn_local_overlay in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/vm, the corresponding package remained masked as "~".
Another hint: Running eix-update && eix-test-obsolete, I remember an Error Message during the way - something like "... repository 'mkn_local_overlay' not contained in ..." Having applied the non-restricted enablement and the corresponding emerges, this has gone. Htmh
Does /usr/local/portage/local-overlay/profiles/repo_name exist? Does it contain the string "mkn_local_overlay"?
(In reply to Mike Gilbert from comment #5) # ll /usr/local/portage/local-overlay/profiles/repo_name -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18 9. Sep 2013 /usr/local/portage/local-overlay/profiles/repo_name # cat /usr/local/portage/local-overlay/profiles/repo_name mkn_local_overlay
(In reply to Mike Gilbert from comment #5) Only "difference" that strikes to my mind: Name := mkn_local_overlay Location := local-overlay ........... ^^^^ But that has been and still is in accordance to the man_page.
