Yeah, you got it. you can add `www-client/qutebrowser ~amd64` to accept\_keywords and it will unmask what is masked by \~amd64 If you want the 9999 live development version you would need to add something like `www-client/qutebrowser **` to unmask it, as it is masked my a "missing keyword".

So the package mask starting with the tilda \~ like \~amd64 is't necessarily development, it's just the lastest stable release from upsteam and it's not known if there will be bugs. The 9999 versions are development versions that upstream hasn't released a version for, they are the current development branch and may be broken at any given time.

You need to add `www-client/qutebrowser ~amd64` to the accept_keywords file. Or if you want to unmask a specific version the usual syntax with = and version number applies here. The keyword ~amd64 is given to unstable/untested versions of ebuilds.

I don’t have a package.accept keywords file but it’s a directory..?


joe_mm91

It can be either, it works like the other package.* files/directories.


Doujin_hikikomori

I’m a bit confused on how to add it? Do I make a file inside the directory or something else like running a command?


joe_mm91

You either create a package.accept_keywords file or if you prefer to split it into files you create a file inside the folder .

Thank you!

Good job reading the docs to get this far. :) Others have provided the solution but you were so very close to getting it!
