There are two identical instances of ~dev-perl/Term-Screen-1.30.0 int he Addition notes section. I think the first one should be ~dev-perl/Term-Screen-1.30.0 ~amd64 (with the keyword specified), but I'm not sure. Fturco (talk) 13:44, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

I would prefer to drop the additional notes, and just refer to the package.accept_keywords article. If we really want to have KB articles regarding the ~ and ** notations, then we should write up additional articles and link to those. --SwifT (talk) 15:08, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Suggested change for following architecture keywords

Let's say you want "net-misc/lldpd", but it has no keywords for ppc64, but it is marked for amd64 and ~ for x86. If you want to track the latest version for amd64, add to package.accept_keywords "net-misc/lldpd amd64". If you want to track latest for anything marked ~, add "net-misc/lldpd ~*".
