"man portage" says about /etc/portage/package.keywords: > Example: > # only use stable mplayer > media-video/mplayer x86 but actually this does not work. As it seems, portage uses the file package.keywords only as an *extension* to the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS from make.conf So, using "x86" in make.conf and "~x86" in package.keywords works well, but "~x86" in make.conf and "x86" in package.keywords doesn't. I don't know, if that is intended behaviour. If so, the manpage should say: # only use stable mplayer media-video/mplayer x86 -~x86 Since it does not work if I do not negate the "~x86" that is set in make.conf However, thanks for the feature - very useful =D
