    Hi! And thanks for the great tool.

    Gentoo ebuild file for the ufraw has amd64 (or ~amd64) keyword missed, so its impossible to build ufraw on amd64 systems.

    I have just build it manually (and then build it with Gentoo emerge using some hacks) and
    is seems that ufraw works perfectly on amd64.

    Is that possible to add amd64 or ~amd64 keyword for Gentoo package?

      Gentoo are responsible for the Gentoo package of UFRaw, so you should ask them.

      I don't have access to an amd64, but AFAIK, UFRaw works fine under this platform.

        You can create your own ebuild and place it in your portage overlay.  On the gentoo web site under documentation you will find information on how to set up your portage overlay (fairly simple) and once this is in place handling stuff like this is easy.  And yes from version 0.5 on UFRAW has worked great on amd64 systems.

        Also if you go to bugs.gentoo.org you can open a "bug" on UFRAW to ask that the ebuild be marked for amd64.  In most cases the gentoo devs will update the ebuild in short order since mostly what they are waiting for is for someone to say that they have tested it and it is OK.
