Description Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2008-07-22 10:10:23 UTC 
For example:
$ epkginfo faac
Package: media-libs/faac
Herd: sound
Maintainer: sound
Location: /usr/portage_cvs/gentoo-x86/media-libs/faac
Keywords: faac-1.24-r2: ~mips 
Keywords: faac-1.24-r4: ~alpha ~arm ~ia64 ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sh ~x86 
Keywords: faac-1.25: ~amd64 ~hppa ~sparc 
Keywords: faac-1.26-r1: alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86 ~x86-fbsd 


I would expect something like:
$ epkginfo faac
Package: media-libs/faac
Herd: sound
Maintainer: sound
Location: /usr/portage_cvs/gentoo-x86/media-libs/faac
Keywords: faac-1.24-r2: ~mips 
Keywords: faac-1.24-r4:
Keywords: faac-1.25:
Keywords: faac-1.26-r1: alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86 ~x86-fbsd 

since 1.26-r1 is also the best visible for ~arch


that would greatly help for knowing which version can be safely removed ;)
(though it doesn't seem to handle package.mask)

Fixing the output, meh...it works now

package.mask support on the other hand...cool enhancement.
