Subject: [gentoo-dev] Need to mask non-visible packages in package.mask?
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 20:17:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081229195554.TA0cd23.tv@veller.net> (raw)
Some time ago (31 Oct 2008) I renamed
perl-core/File-Spec-3.2701 to perl-core/File-Spec-3.27.01
by adding the new file and removing the other.
I expected portage to do an downgrade.
It didn't.
I realised it when i got this bug <https://bugs.gentoo.org/248178>
and after joining #-portage I add a mask for a non-existing package to
package.mask.
Today I was CC'ed to https://bugs.gentoo.org/105016 because "package.mask
contains invalid entries".
In the meantime another bug was filed about portage "doesn't attempt to
downgrade packages on keyword changes..." <https://bugs.gentoo.org/252167>
with a fix.
I am confused. Will portage warn about the downgrade now and forever?
