-* are masked for all archs. This is experimental beyond ~*. Furthermore, you should at least specify your particular arch, like x86, amd64, ppc. Many applications don't even use a -* arch so you will be missing a whole bunch of stuff. A better way to handle this is to use the package.keywords file and add to it any experimental ebuilds you want. man emerge will give you more information. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
