Hello all, I've usually been unmasking packages by edit profiles/packages.mask, but it's getting to be a pain. I read in a recent thread on -dev that packages should be unmasked in /etc/portage/package.unmask, but it doesn't seem to work. It ended with an unanswered question asking if the behaviour has recently changed.
Here's my situation: bash-2.05b# cat /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask | grep xfree-4.3.99 >=x11-base/xfree-4.3.99 bash-2.05b# cat /etc/portage/packages.unmask >=x11-base/xfree-4.3.99 bash-2.05b# cat /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.3.99.12.ebuild | grep KEYWORDS KEYWORDS="~x86 ~ppc ~sparc ~alpha ~mips ~hppa ~arm" bash-2.05b# emerge -uDp world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuild UD] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 [4.3.99.12] So, my question is; if anybody is successfully unmasking packages without editing anything in /usr/portage, how are you doing it?
