The package "sci-biology/emboss" was keyworded ~ppc64 some time ago. However, the "emboss" USE flag is still masked in the ppc64 profiles. This means optional EMBOSS support cannot be enabled in the following packages: aaindex, CUTG, PRINTS, Prosite, rebase and TransFac. Since these are PDEPENDencies of EMBOSS but are built without EMBOSS support on ppc64, EMBOSS installations on ppc64 are probably more or less broken. (Try running "restrict" for instance. You should get an error message about missing data files.) Also, "emboss" should be in the default USE flags for ppc64 just like it is for x86, ppc and ppc-macos now that EMBOSS is available on ppc64, since most users expect EMBOSS support in the above-mentionned packages. The corect fix is to change the ppc64 profiles by: - Removing "emboss" from "profiles/default-linux/ppc64/use.mask" - Adding "emboss" to the default ppc64 USE flags in: - "profiles/default-linux/ppc64/2004.3/make.defaults" - "profiles/default-linux/ppc64/2005.0/make.defaults" Cheers,
thx for the info! :-) Let's wait until EMBOSS is stable on ppc64 and then I'll remove emboss from use.mask and place it into default USE flags.
I just saw that emboss was more than 4 weeks marked ~ppc64. I've marked it stable now and corrected the profiles.
