Never mind, it's not that I can't live without it. It would merely be a little helper for unmasking packages.

I wish I read this two minutes ago! ;-)
If you rewrite it in python, maybe we could include this feature in
{portage,gentoolkit} ?

[gentoo-user] script to recursively unmask a package
Howdy,
I was wanting to install just kdebase-3.4.0 without unmasking all of
kde-3.4.0. The HOWTO
Update KDE 3.3 to KDE 3.4
(http://www.gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Update_KDE_3.3_to_KDE_3.4)
suggested running emerge kdebase -p, find a package that is blocking,
then add that package to
/etc/portage/packages.keywords, and repeat until no more packages are
blocking. Tedious.
So here's a perl script to do just that. It will work for any package.
Usage: unmask.pl packageName
-- begin: unmask.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# quick hack to recursively unmask all packages that are blocking the given
# package from emerging.
# usage: unmask.pl packageName
print unmasking:=$ARGV[0]\n;
doit;
exit(0);
# doit()
sub doit {
local $flag = 1;
local $package = $ARGV[0];
while($flag) {
$flag = 0;
open my $fh, emerge $package -p| || die could not open:
emerge $package -p;
while($fh) {
if(/^\-\s+(.*)\-[\d\.]+\s+\(masked
by\:\s+(\~\S+)\s+keyword\)/) {
unmask($1, $2);
$flag = 1;
last;
}
}
close($fh);
}
}
# unmask the file by adding it to /etc/portage/package.keywords
sub unmask
{
local($name, $arch) = @_;
print unmasking: $name\n;
open my $fh, /etc/portage/package.keywords || die can't open
package.keywords: $!;
print $fh $name $arch\n;
close $fh;
}
-- end: unmask.pl
Have fun,
Roy

We can't have a portage utility with a name that makes sense. You need to rename it to something like 'gunmk' (Gentoo UNMasK). :-) Seriously, though.
