http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=33534 Several statments could be misleading for users... 1. "The newer way to mask packages is to declare KEYWORDS in the ebuild file. " I see in the forum a lot talk about not messing with ebuild file and instead using the /etc/portage/package.unmask mechanism (which is mentioned much later in in the article). 2. "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS can also be set on the command line." In several instances in the Forums, people warn of side-effects of setting ACCEPT_KEYWORDS on the cmd line.

Reopening, this is a forum bug.
There's also a thread on the forums about it: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-305451.html I've made some minor changes but a bigger revision would be good.
I updated the KEYWORDS FAQ and made a new FAQ that covers Masked Packages. This bug can now be closed.
Thanks, closing this bug. If there are any issues left either reopen or report them in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-305451.html Ob behalf of the mods, Wernfried
