I noticed there is no amd64 flag on pylibpcap. Is there some testing I can help with. I use this library in a production environment today in on a amd64 native environment. It should at least go unstable. 13c13 < KEYWORDS="x86" --- > KEYWORDS="~amd64 x86" Here is the output of the install: ===================================== ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge pylibpcap Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-python/pylibpcap-0.4 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) pylibpcap-0.4.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking pylibpcap-0.4.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/pylibpcap-0.4/work >>> Source unpacked. /usr/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py:213: UserWarning: 'licence' distribution option is deprecated;

that package doesn't exist. it's pretty hard to keyword imaginary packages ;)
Not only does it exist, it has since March 2003. dev-python/pylibpcap
shame on me, i missread the name twice :S ~amd64 now, thanks!
