~arch means a testing ebuild. In this case, the package apparently is considered not ready for general release, but it is available for those who wish to participate in the testing. The same thing happens with KDE beta/rc releases: the ebuilds go into portage but are masked, because the software itself is considered untested (obviously if it is beta). -- Neil Bothwick Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet."
