Hi
would it be contrary to gentoo philosophy to have a command line option to emerge
to enable masked packages info.typing ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" is very annoying.
or is there such a flag already?
thanks
Jani.

I use an alias for experimental emerge:
alias expmerge='ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge'
It is less annoying this way...

That's what aliases were invented for. Read all about them in "man
bash".

oh and this means that every option of emerge can be dropped because bash has aliases.
And all those ugly gcc options too.We're saved ;)
Other answers ?

No. Just the ones that are also covered by environment variables. ;-)
Seriously, though, I think the point is that setting an environment
variable is a sufficiently elegant solution for the problem covered by
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS (not, mind you, for *every* switch/option out there)
and that, if you don't like typing it all out, there already exist
perfectly useful ways (e.g., alias) to make things easier on yourself.

[first ducks, then answers...]
Well, if you prefer, you could learn about alias from "man tcsh" ;-)

I had a slightly different solution of adding
export AK="env ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86"
to the end of my /etc/profile
That way you only type
$AK emerge <params> <string>
Incorporating an official way of doing this into the OS is not an
entirely bad idea given that the dual tree structure is here to stay.
Conventions as is exhibited by Gentoo in every way are a positive
adoption.
