Gentoo has three keywords per architecture:
- Plain arch (e.g. "x86"). This is used for software believed to be stable on that architecture.
- ~arch (e.g. "~x86"). This is used for software that needs testing on that architecture (but should work).
- -arch (e.g. "-x86"). This is used for software that is known not to work on that architecture (such as binary-only software, or things like arcboot which depend on a specific architecture).
In addition, you've got masked packages (which are in the tree if you want to use them and give feedback, but which are expected to break - think GNOME and KDE alphas, for example), and unkeyworded packages (which are not known to work or fail on that architecture).
