I'm not interested at all in this bug in specific, I'm interested in the
visions on using ~ppc-macos vs ppc-macos.
If you keyword ~ppc-macos should you be on a completely ~ppc-macos
system, or does a ppc-macos system also hold?
I agree with you that portage should deal with it, and if I understood
Finn correctly, I think he thinks like me, that most users will use a
ppc-macos system and occasionaly use a ~ppc-macos package.
My current setup is equal to this: my base install is ppc-macos and I
test ~ppc-macos packages against that. Portage pulls whatever it needs
for each package I test/keyword. I argue that I simulate a 'user'
system this way. However, if some devs think you can only keyword
~ppc-macos on a fully ~ppc-macos system, then I better stop, which I
will until this is straightened out. The reason why this is brought up
now, is because there is a package which doesn't compile on a ppc-macos
system, but does on a ~ppc-macos system, because the output of emerge
-ep system is different for {,~}ppc-macos.
I still think that this difference in emerge -ep system is the actual
problem, but I want to be very sure that my setup is accepted, which it
apparently is not at the moment. Hence, I won't move a repoman commit
muscle.
