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,=20 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=20 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=20 following: These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating dependencies | emerge: all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=3Dsys-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 --==========1007870887========== Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9qXEBewFRj1Rf8VkRAosmAJ93gE4O6+Qiqnxx4hLsYKE7So9fMgCcCPgV wSPRTomj2sXjYMJDmMSayoc= =jI+8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==========1007870887==========--
