Howdy,
My originally stable (x86) system has a lot of testing packages (via
package.keywords)
and I'm looking to switch to a pure testing system. I thought all that
was necessary
was to change x86 to ~x86 in make.conf's USE variable. No joy. emerge
--info still
shows stable x86. I'm an hour into googling, reading the gentoo
handbook, still no
joy. Any ideas?
TIA,
Roy

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS!
and after that:
env-update
source /etc/profile

env-update update is for global environment changes which are made
in /etc/env.d/*. It has got nothing to do with /etc/make.conf. All he has to
do is add the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to /etc/make.conf.

good to know.
I always do env-update after changes to /etc, just to be sure, that I don't
forget it, once it is really needed.;)

Set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in make.conf. Do not set x86 or ~x86 in
make.conf's USE.
