Publishing a news item 2-4 weeks prior wouldn't cost much for us, I feel
like just to make sure it'd be the right thing to do.

(that only gets printed for people with bitcoin* installed)

[gentoo-dev] Unmask >=net-p2p/bitcoin*-0.21.1

[Florian Schmaus]

I think it is time to unmask the currently masked Bitcoin versions. The 
mask was added in Juli of 2021 [1], with the mask's commit message 
indicating that unmasking is planned for November 2021.


I doubt that the mask was ever needed in the first place, as it was 
intended to prevent automated updates of Bitcoin in Gentoo. However, 
Gentoo has no unattended upgrade mechanism. Instead, the user explicitly 
triggers all updates.


As this has already caused a little bit of friction, I'd like to get a 
feeling of the community's view on that.
