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?
