cython is required to complete emerge zhone

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

What sould I fix to build zhone on the device?

I've asked in ticket:238#comment:3 and in ticket:267#comment:3.

There is no answer.

Why not to create a page about this?

How about

echo "=dev-python/cython-0.11.2-r1 **" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords/cython

and then try to emerge?

What a wonderful hint! (I'm not joking!) If we take a loot at Working with Portage" section in "Gentoo Linux ARM Handbook we see that

Within /etc/portage you can create the following files:
 * package.keywords which lists the packages you want to be able to install even though the package hasn't been found suitable for your system or architecture (yet) 

package.keywords is a file!

Let's look at User Success Stories page on this site, max_posedon uses package.keywords as a file as well!

Who is right? Where is up-to-date docs?

Putting "=dev-python/cython-0.11.2-r1 **" line in file /etc/portage/package.keywords - doesn't work.

Anyhow, your solution works! After making /etc/portage/package.keywords a directory and putting the corresponding line in cython, I have:

max-gta02 ~ # emerge -pv zhone

But it's another story, I'll close this issue.

Thanks!

Are you really sure you are using the keywords of the overlay? I'm asking because pyalsaaudio is keyworded here:

http://gentoo.mindzoo.de/index.cgi/browser/openmoko/trunk/portage-flags-target/keywords/pyalsaaudio

[dememax]

I thought the page native-compiling contains all necessary instructions. There is no "key" match.

It was hard for me to figure out why paths are different (see this diff of native-compiling page).

Does it mean that I must understand what is intended and make corresponding link?

Would you mind to add some instructions about how to setup the overlay to native-compiling page, please? Thanks!
