[gentoo-dev] emerge not using latest ebuild (djbdns)

[gentoo-dev] emerge not using latest ebuild (djbdns)

[Stephan Feder]

I already posted this on gentoo-user with no reply so maybe this is the
proper mailing list for the following question:

"emerge -p djbdns" states (and "emerge djbdns" really does it):

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N   ] net-dns/djbdns-1.05-r3 

But "find /usr/portage/net-dns/djbdns/" gives:

/usr/portage/net-dns/djbdns/
/usr/portage/net-dns/djbdns/files
/usr/portage/net-dns/djbdns/files/dnscache-setup
/usr/portage/net-dns/djbdns/files/digest-djbdns-1.05-r3
/usr/portage/net-dns/djbdns/files/tinydns-setup
/usr/portage/net-dns/djbdns/files/digest-djbdns-1.05-r5
/usr/portage/net-dns/djbdns/files/digest-djbdns-1.05-r4
/usr/portage/net-dns/djbdns/djbdns-1.05-r4.ebuild
/usr/portage/net-dns/djbdns/djbdns-1.05-r3.ebuild
/usr/portage/net-dns/djbdns/ChangeLog
/usr/portage/net-dns/djbdns/djbdns-1.05-r5.ebuild

Why does emerge use -r3 (which is known to be broken) instead of -r5? Am
I missing something?

Regards,

This is due to masking. -r5 is masked using KEYWORDS, and declared unstable. 
Take a look in the ebuilds; -r5 has KEYWORDS="~x86 ~sparc", while -r3 has 
KEYWORDS="x86 sparc". ~x86 is the unstable profile, x86 is stable.

Thanks, that explains it. I never considered -r5 being masked because
-r3 is broken (bug #8236) and -r5 is the fix.
