Description Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-08 02:18:09 UTC
It'd be nice to be able to add something like this to package.keywords:

app-accessibility/* ~x86
media-plugins/*xmms* ~x86
xfce-*/* ~x86
Comment 1 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-08 03:36:23 UTC
exact category matching (your first line) is realistic, the others not.
Comment 2 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-08 09:29:50 UTC
why would you say the others are not realistic?  That pretty much matches what I have on my system.  I don't want to have to list each xmms plugin separately... And it shouldn't be that much of a stretch to code the others and just leave it up to the user to decide what is "realisitc."  Besides, if done right, you would probably get that functionality for free.

Comment 3 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-11 16:38:53 UTC
No. I will not support that. DEPEND syntax for depend related things.

Users that use this feature without knowing what it does is bad enough.
Dealing with users that don't know why packages aren't being thrown
in is worse, especially when we have to support them.

Comment 5 Henrik Sankala 2005-03-19 09:50:30 UTC
With the new split KDE ebuilds and the unmasking nightmare that causes if you want to try a masked version, I think this bug should be reconsidered.


kde-base/* ~x86

vs.

kde-base/akode ~x86
...insert another 321 entires here...
kde-base/xparts ~x86
