Why don't I see the masked samba ebuilds when I do: > ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -up samba? or: > # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -s samba?
Because the 3.0-packages are not only in the untested branch (~x86), but have additionally been masked in /usr/portage/profile/package.mask. Until they are removed from that file, they will not be recognized even if you use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86". You will therefore have to directly emerge the ebuild with complete path. However, packages that are in packages.mask are usually masked for a good reason. Einar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
