Description Mark Dickie 2004-08-02 06:19:08 UTC

I am using a Cobalt Qube machine and have found that I have to manually add the mips keyword to anything I want to compile even though they work fine.  I would be very interested in fixing this problem rather than put extra load on the existing devs.  How would it be possible for me to submit updated ebuilds for mips?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge <anything>
2.emerge complains about missing keywords
3.

Actual Results:  
Missing keyword error 

Expected Results:  
Installed the software

Submit bugs to mips@g.o. Include the full package name and exact versions in the bug title. Make sure you've tested all the USE flags, and that the package actually runs -- simply compile-testing isn't enough.

A good example of a "please keyword" bug (this one for sparc rather than mips) is bug #50408.
