kopete 0.5 is in the portage tree but emerge doesn't see it

I have kde beta2 installed with kopete 0.4.1.
When I do an emerge -s kopete I got:

* net-im/kopete
Latest version available: 0.4.1
Latest version installed: 0.4.1
Homepage: http://kopete.kde.org/
Description: The KDE Instant Messenger

but I have the a newer ebuild in my portage tree:
/usr/portage/net-im/kopete/kopete-0.5.ebuild
and it's not masked!

What's wrong?

I also unmerged kopete 0.4.1, but I still don't see the new one. emerge reinstalled the 0.4.1

Any ideas anyone?

Yes, bingo, that's it. It worked!

Thanks, for the quick answer.

BTW, How does it work?
Where are the ebuild marked stable and unstable?

i have unfortunately no cleu on how it works but searching the forum would be a good way to find out i think, there has been a great deal of discussion about thi new feature

In the ebuilds we have a line that says... KEYWORDS="~x86 PPC" fx. which means that this is stable for PPC and unstable in x86 archs.

This question was asked previously in kopete.
