Happened again. The 4.6 RC2 tarballs is not available yet, but it's
not masked anyway.
It would be awesome if the kde guys could mask the stuff, since it's a
lot of packages to mask by hand and it totally breaks emerge -u world.
Hi,
you should try the "--keep-going" emerge option.
And then you can make it default by putting line below to /etc/make.conf
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--keep-going"
No that's too messy. You have to watch for packages that don't have
tarballs, like kde-env which will break KDE if installed.
I created a custom unmask file to solve the issue. But it would be
better if there was a 4.5.90-specific unmask file to begin with.
In the end, it's not a very big deal. Just a major annoyance :-)
