Bug 150932 – emerge manpage appears to be truncated

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Documentation

[Description Neil Skrypuch 2006-10-11 15:28:43 UTC]

Near the bottom of the emerge manpage, we have this:

       KEYWORDS
              The KEYWORDS variable in an ebuild file is also used for masking
              a package still in  testing.   There  are  architecture-specific
              keywords  for  each  package that let portage know which systems
              are compatible with the package.  Packages which compile  on  an
              architecture,  but  have  not  been  proven  to be "stable", are
              masked with a tilde (~)  in  front  of  the  architecture  name.
              emerge  examines  the  ACCEPT_KEYWORDS  environment  variable to
              allow or disallow the emerging of a package masked by  KEYWORDS.
              To  inform  emerge that it should build these 'testing' versions
              of packages, you should  update  your  /etc/portage/package.key-
              words file to list the packages you want the

The sentence at the end drops off in the middle, which I suspect was not intended.

This is with Portage 2.1.1.

Thanks, it's fixed in svn r4663.  The problem was some quotes that weren't properly escaped.

This has been released in 2.1.2_pre2-r9.
