Re: [gentoo-dev] Portage 1.8.1 released

Really great!!!

But I miss a feature like a own package mask. As you know the file
$PORTAGEDIR/profiles/package.mask will be overwritten each time i do
emerge rsync, i would be nice to have a possible to create a own package
mask. Like /etc/make.mask or something. I like to compile my own kernel
and i don't need some stuff from the default profiles so i would add
something like:

*sys-kernel/linux-sources
*sys-apps/grub

etc.

It will be nice to have a feature like this

Thanks, Again really good work
