Unfortunatly though, I've discovered that one of my favourite
command-line
based torrent clients, "rtorrent" doesn't have "arm" in its KEYWORDS
variable.
Can someone tell me why this is? If it's just due to it not having been
tested, I'd be happy to do that, but I'd need to know the "right" way
to do
that.
Surely no-one here can. Possibly the Gentoo developer for the package
could tell you, it's equally possible that no-one's ever tried it.
Simply copy the package's ebuild to your local tree, edit it to add the
ARM keyword and try it. If it works, open a bug at Gentoo asking for the
package to be marked as table on your architecture.

It looks like rtorrent does compile on ARM:

There's no need to edit an ebuild. You can add the package to
package.keywords with "**" as the keyword.
