Hey folks,
Just a public service announcement, but you generally shouldn't try
using packages marked -* (ie by adding dev-java/foo -* to
/etc/portage/package.keywords). Packages marked this way are likely to
not build, not run, and kick your dog. For example, I'm working on a
revision of Eclipse, 3.2_rc6-r1 which uses some patches from Fedora, and
haven't quite worked it all out, so it dies about 10 minutes into the
build.... So to summarize, be _very_ careful what you use that's marked -*.
- Josh
