So, the basic suggestion is that x86 and amd64 would both use the same keyword, but that for cases such as valgrind pre-3.0, which didn't work at all on amd64, then those package are profile-masked, and there's separate amd64 and x86 profiles (as there are now) to handle those distinctions? -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76
