Description Lasse Bigum 2005-11-16 12:23:26 UTC
Quote from /usr/port/skel.ebuild:

# The ~ in front of the architecture indicates that the package is new and 
# should be considered unstable until testing proves its stability.  Once 
# packages go stable the ~ prefix is removed.  So, if you've confirmed that 
# your ebuild works on x86 and ppc, you'd specify: KEYWORDS="~x86 ~ppc"

I would *think* that it should be 'KEYWORDS="x86 ppc"' instead?

no ... the comment is explaining what the ~ means and then offhandedly
mentions how it move into stable

since you're making a new ebuild, the KEYWORDS should always start
in unstable

Arh, I get that now, but I just found it ambiguous. What about swapping the last 
two sentences then? First explaining what ~ means, and what the KEYWORDS should 
be, before finally mentioning when to remove ~ ?

A suggestion anyways.

I understood that much ;-)
