Some packages are not keyworded because no one has ever tried them. We occasionally get keyword requests of the form "Please add ~sparc keyword to .... because I've been using it and it works fine" in response to which we do add the keyword if it does work. No maintainer action involved, because the maintainer apparently doesn't know if the package works on sparc or not anyway. A STABLEREQ is a different matter, masked packages are a different matter, but not just keywording. --- snip --- Regards, Ferris --=20 Ferris McCormick (P44646, MI) Developer, Gentoo Linux (Devrel, Sparc, Userrel, Trustees) --=-NdEIb9MK26Vln+1xoXG7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBH1uHaQa6M3+I///cRAqyWAKCR5am3kQtgAuMI2fYZU53JrKl1NwCfQxIs YsvwY1fJs6ovxHl3LJnTBcY= =vvWZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-NdEIb9MK26Vln+1xoXG7-- -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
