[gentoo-dev] masking question (flex-2.5.4a-r5 / xfree-4.2.1)

Can anyone help me with the following?

When I do an emerge -s flex, I get
*  sys-devel/flex
      Latest version available: 2.5.4a-r4
      Latest version installed: 2.5.4a-r4
      Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/flex/flex.html
      Description: GNU lexical analyser generator

There is an -r5 ebuild in the portage dir. and this version is not masked, 
so why isn't it listed in the search?

Almost the same with the xfree-4.2.1.ebuild. This one is masked but if I 
unmask it, I still get the 4.2.0-r12 version listed.

When i try to give the 4.2.1 ebuild on the emerge command line I get the 
following:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating dependencies |

emerge: all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-devel/flex-2.5.4a-r5" (from 
ebuild / x11-base/xfree-4.2.1 merge) have been masked.

I am confused. What does that mean and where is it masked?

-Rolf

In short: new functionality..

Put :

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

in your make.conf & you'll be fine..

I did a work around for the sandboxing on ethereal 0.9.7, its now masked for
testing using new arch testing keywords. I'm gonna close this out could u 
please resubmit me the correct kismet ebuild :). BTW here are the 
instructions for unmasking arch testing keywords:

Another important snippet. If you want to unmask all ~x86 KEYWORDSed
ebuilds, add the following to your /etc/make.conf:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is incremental like USE so it *will* keep the existing
"x86" that is defined in your profile. This can also be done using the
environment for temporary testing purposes:

# export ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" (or "~ppc" or "~sparc", etc.)

Can you explain this functionality?

What does the "~" mean in this instance?

THanks

Possibly a different subject, but are people aware that flex is now up to 
2.5.22?  Many fix0rs and such have been incorporated into the new version.  
Hit me up for the new maintainer's webpage.

Cheers,
Nicholas

Hmm, then not many people know it, as Redhat/MDK is also still on 2.5.4.

Anyhow, new URL will be appreciated.
