No, but it instructs one to peek into man 5 ebuild for the info. If
you look again at the portage manpage, the section on package.keywords
states of the file format:
"one DEPEND atom per line followed by additional KEYWORDS"
And at the top (Glossary) it says about these atoms:
"DEPEND atom
A string which matches a package. It is of the
form category/package. It may also contain optional logical operators
and versions.
More reading: ebuild(5)"
Follow this "more reading"-hint by entering "man 5 ebuild". The
resulting manpage tells you quite extensively (even everything?) about
the atoms, with many examples, and more.
It takes a meticulous, technically inclined (or otherwise
anal-retentive? :) ) mind to read these manpage-thingies which were
structured and invented before the modern hypertext-intarweb hit the
streets two decades ago. And sure, some of them are written badly, but
IMHO the gentoo ones are pretty ok from a user's POV.
So, as a conclusion, you probably want to use ~ instead of >= in there
as you apparently are running a mostly stable box (arch) instead of
testing (~arch)?
