Description Andy Lutomirski 2004-08-09 13:16:56 UTC

Currently, it looks like one must set ~arch in package.keywords for each individual package.  It would be useful to set it for entire categories (for example, setting all of gnome to use ~arch).

I have a short patch that extends the =* operator to work on package names, so it matches prefixes.  That means that:

=*gnome-base/ ~amd64

in package.keywords will allow ~amd64 for all packages with names beginning with gnome-base/ .

I'll attach the patch to this bug.

Reproducible: Always
