-* is generally used to indicate that it's a binary package or something similar which has no chance of working on archs that it's not keyworded for. package.mask means maybe portable, but too broken for ~arch. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
