[gentoo-user] Confusing Portage Outcomes

[Hunter Jozwiak]

Hi all. I made the following in /etc/portage/make.conf
#ACCEPT_LICENS="*"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
Save and exit.
To double check, I ran:
#emerge --info | grep -i accept
ACCEPT_LICENSES="* -@EULA"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86"
The way it looks, the file just appended what I want to the Portage
default. As far as the keywords variable is concerned, that will cause
issues. Do I need to negate the defaults with the -?
