Hi all,
Using eix for some time (at least a year now), I discovered today
(eix-0.5.5) a very strange feature which and in less perfect world than
gentoo's might perhaps qualify as a bug.
If I type "eix <package>" and the package is unstable (or has unstable
versions) and appears as such in the gentoo database, I expect to see it
-for the unstable versions- in eix's output: the man page says so anyway;
but this happens only if I have not marked the package with "~x86" in *my*
/etc/portage/package.keywords file. If I mark the package (with "~x86")
eix tells me :
* app-editors/emacs-cvs
Available versions: 22.0.50-r1 22.0.50-r2 [M]23.0.0
Installed: 22.0.50-r2
Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs
Description: Emacs is the extensible, customizable,
self-documenting real-time display editor.
and this is a *big lie* (works with any package apparently).
Or is it intended?
