Please add support for package.keywords in profiles to Portage 2.2 :) Reason: I want to be able to completely avoid using /etc/portage on machines that get their packages from a BINHOST/buildserver. I'm using a custom profile on the BINHOST/buildserver based on a Gentoo profile. That profile is automagically added to the local Portage tree (upstream/Gentoo + my profile) and synced from the BINHOST clients. When I want to build a package on the BINHOST/buildserver for an ebuild that is in ~arch, I have to add that one to package.keywords inside the corresponding buildroot (I currently have one x86 and one amd64 buildroot) on the BINHOST/buildserver *and* to package.keywords on the BINHOST client. What I want instead is add it to package.keywords in my profile and just "be done" with that (of course, the clients still need to re-sync their Portage tree but that is already necessary for other things like metadata/glsa for example). Comments, please :) Thanks!
Currently my profiles/ directory looks like this: profiles/categories profiles/repo_name profiles/use.desc profiles/use.local.desc profiles/somecompany profiles/somecompany/amd64 profiles/somecompany/amd64/2008.0 profiles/somecompany/amd64/2008.0/server profiles/somecompany/amd64/2008.0/server/parent # contains this: # /usr/portage/profiles/hardened/linux/amd64/2008.0/server # ../../../targets/server profiles/somecompany/x86 profiles/somecompany/x86/2008.0 profiles/somecompany/x86/2008.0/server profiles/somecompany/x86/2008.0/server/parent # ^^^ contains this: # /usr/portage/profiles/hardened/linux/x86/2008.0/server # ../../../targets/server profiles/somecompany/targets profiles/somecompany/targets/server profiles/somecompany/targets/server/make.defaults # ^^^ contains everything I used to put in make.conf before profiles/somecompany/targets/server/package.mask profiles/somecompany/targets/server/package.provided profiles/somecompany/targets/server/package.use profiles/somecompany/targets/server/package.use.force profiles/somecompany/targets/server/package.use.mask profiles/somecompany/targets/server/packages profiles/somecompany/targets/server/packages.build profiles/somecompany/targets/server/profile.bashrc profiles/somecompany/targets/server/use.defaults.DEPRECATED profiles/somecompany/targets/server/use.force profiles/somecompany/targets/server/use.mask profiles/somecompany/targets/server/virtuals (use.defaults.DEPRECATED is just some sort of 'reminder' for myself) /etc/make.profile on the BINHOST clients either points to profiles/somecompany/amd64/2008.0/server or profiles/somecompany/x86/2008.0/server. So, the only thing I'm missing here is package.keywords :)
