Part of the process for upgrading to the new java system, and using modular X (before it became stable) requires keywording via /etc/portage/package.keywords.
What happens when the keywording is no longer necessary? It appears that you slowly collect an ~x86 system as the keywords grow! - along with the breakages that implies (I was recently caught, which is why I am asking) Over time, my two stable(!) systems are now 153 and 421 ~x86 packages respectively in *THAT* file. The larger system required modular X because of the i810 driver (now at 7.1), but now stable 7.0 is released, I assume I am going to have a terminally broken system if I just delete the keywords? Is there a way to easily stop the system upgrading until the stable packages catch up? - without breakages? BillK -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
