[gentoo-user] pecl-cairo ~x86 overlay?

Hello list, I need to install Cairo bindings for dev-lang/php-5*.  Is there
a pecl-cairo overlay for ~x86?  I've tried unmasking this package and adding
the keyword ~amd64 and it seems to want to install with emerge but my system
is ~x86.

According to this site it is only ~amd64, but I cannot understand why.

Thanks for any help.

I just think that maybe in Ebuild the keyword is ~amd64 what the ebuild
maintainer** do , it means that the maintainer just tested  in arch amd64
not x86. if you want to install in x86,you can modify ebuild and add
~x86，maybe it works ,that is my opinion.

You don't need to modify the ebuild, just add a line
to /etc/portage/package.kjeywords

dev-php5/pecl-cairo ~amd64

As Sam pointed out, maybe it's working, but but just not tested on other 
architectures. To try without modifying the ebuild, you could put the 
package into /etc/portage/package.keywords, followed by a ~*. From the 
portage man page:

  Note:
  In addition to the normal values from ACCEPT_KEYWORDS  package.keywords
  supports three special tokens:

  *  package is visible if it is stable on any architecture
  ~* package is visible if it is in testing on any architecture
  ** package is always visible (KEYWORDS are ignored completely)
