[nouveau] gentoo ebuild masked by a missing keyword
Am trying to emerge xf86-video-nouveau, emerge tells me it's masked by a missing keyword. Googling reports it's a dreaded message, can be solved by adding the package to /etc/portage/package.keywords as x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau * -- here I deduce from examples, with "*" or "~*" trailing. Doesn't work still. How do I unmask it properly? Cheers, Alexy - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

To unmask something with a missing keyword, you add -* to it's entry in /etc/portage/package.keywords ... eg: x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau -* Dan - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [nouveau] gentoo ebuild masked by a missing keyword
Well, after solving Gentoo-specific masking issues (thanks to folks who replied!), libdrm pulled by nouveau fails to build due to the build's own issues -- is that Gentoo ebuild of nouveau maintained? The references to the ebuilds are on the wiki, hence I hope it's fair to ask. I pulled it with layman -a nouveau. Cheers, Alexy - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

I pulled it with layman -a nouveau. Hello I'm the current maintainer of those ebuilds. If you have problems, send your report to me. I don't think anyone else will be interested. As it is said in http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/GentooEbuilds , nothing is guaranteed. I will not take any pressure from maintaining them, but I do use them myself. If they work for me, they are on low priority. Please, keep in mind that these ebuilds are of extremely experimental nature. -- Pekka "PQ" Paalanen http://www.iki.fi/pq/ - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
