I think he was trying to point out that ~x86 will give you a newer version= =20 of dir2ogg even if you're running PPC or something else. It's not a good=20 idea, because it could give you a known-broken-on-PPC version that's in=20 testing for x86 (if there were such a version) or not give you a testing=20 version for PPC known to be broken on x86, but portage doesn't=20 fundamentally care whether your keywords actually make any sense together. =09-Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* --1547844168-1737957871-1161290978=:9789-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
