This could lead one to suspect that these packages are in fact not usable at all on the arm architecture. As it happens, ALL of these packages built without incident on my Raspberry PI 2 B. What's more, they actually all WORK on my Raspberry PI 2, as far as I can tell. I've attached a screenshot for the unbelievers :) I would suggest that these packages therefore merrit at least a ~arm keyword, since they not only build on native arm flawlessly without a glitch (which frankly is more than I can say for a whole lot of supposedly "STABLE" packages on x86), they actually work too.

Expected Results: The packages should be keyworded with at least ~arm, or maybe even arm, so a gentoo arm user can build them normally with "emerge mate".

James Bates, if you'd like to help test arm, I'd be happy to have you on board. Shoot me an email or meet me on IRC, and we can discuss using your help when we get to the part of the arm keywording.
