How big is your package.keywords?

Almost all for Beryl/AIGLX, XFCE 4.4 beta, new Java, and Lila themes.

I only run stable on my router, which doesn't even have a package.keywords file

It used to be around 250 on my desktop, but I switched to ~amd64 as soon as I realized that I developed the habit of echoing <pkgname> into package.keywords every time I wanted to emerge it >.>

Sometimes I'm running ~ppc because I need a special feature and just forget to remove it when my wanted version becomes stable and another unstable is offered.. until something breaks. Better way would be to fix the version by packages.mask.

Is there some script in existence that can transform a versionless package.keywords file to a versioned package.keywords?

I've 171, but most of these are left over from Gnome 2.14 upgrade. What would be excellent is tool to read in your file, and produce a file in which if the version your using now is stable that line is removed. I wanted to go back to using x86 totally, but I think it would be too much effort to manually work out which packages I need to downgrade and sometimes unstable works and stable just doesn't i.e. openoffice.

Give my script a shot. It doesn't remove unneeded lines, but it will display all the information for you to upgrade or remove sta ble packages easily.

I run ~x86, so I don't have anything in package.keywords aside from aquamarine-9999. I have three packages in package.unmask IIRC, but I'm not in front of my computer right now.

That makes a total of 4 packages.

134.

there are some sections defined by a blank line and comment at the top of each one.

Every package is there for a reason, and I sort through it regularly.
