[gentoo-dev] xfce4-session ebuild problem

[Brett I. Holcomb]

I'm running xfce4 on an AMD Athlon.  I decided to merge xfce4-session today.  
However, even with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS set to ~x86 it tells me there are no 
unmasked packages.  I checked /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask and did not 
find it there.  I then checked the ebuild and it has KEYWORDS="-* AMD64"!

What is with this?  As far as I know xfce4-session is for x86s.  Why does it 
have AMD64 in the keywords and disallow all others? 

Thanks.

I unmasked it on amd64, but it was masked on everything before.
According to the ChangeLog, apparently it conflicted with the xfce4
beta. Not sure if it should be unmasked or if I should re-mask on amd64,
so cc'ing bcowan on this for more info.

Daniel

Hi all,

I'd vote to unmask it, as I and a colleague here at work 
have had it running since September 30ish using the official 
release of 4 without a problem. Without knowing more about 
the RC breakage I can't be sure it won't break for others 
but in daily use I've not had problems (bugs doesn't return 
any submission relating to xfce4-session).

my lurking 2cents
