I too found and looked at breakmygentoo.net and it appears not to be much different than just downloading ebuilds out of bugs.gentoo.org. Kinda takes the joys of portage out of the picture. Seems just a lot more presentable than bugs.gentoo.org and a better location for those ebuilds. Still not sure why the dev release of gnome 2.5.x has to be there while KDE 3.2 beta is in the tree just masked. Seems odd. I'm a KDE person so it really doesn't matter other than just for understanding. Someone in this thread said that ACCEPT_KEYWORDS isn't for unstable ebuilds/packages. If that's the case we don't need ACCEPT_KEYWORDS do we? I must have it wrong that things go from masked to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to the stable tree route. I'll do more reading and educate myself as to what ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is for and why apps are flagged that way. Robert -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
