Hi all,
I think it is worth to discuss about `Do not modify ebuilds which are
already in the tree... even if masked.`
Sometimes ebuilds which are already in the portage tree are modified
without changing the
version-number, i.e. ebuild-r1 is in the portage tree and the ebuild-
r1 gets changed,
i.e. useflag or other issues without changing the version number to
ebuild-r2. This causes
confusion i.e. in bug-reports.
My opinion is not to change any ebuild which is in the portage tree,
even if the ebuild is masked.
I think the better way is to add an ebuild with an updated version
number, even if the ebuild is still
masked.
I also recommend to manage hard-masked packages the same way, it
prevents confusion in
bug-reports.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Cecilia
