Good afternoon Kent, We have similar workflow issues with this, and as a consequence our software team has asked me to step up. I can present an at least vaguely maintainable ebuild on: https://bugs.gentoo.org/572824 I am aware that some of the patches are rather large, so I will pack them up into an Asterisk-style patchset that is downloaded from the mirrors. For the avoidance of doubt, I am not proposing to remove the package.mask entry but I am looking to prevent package removal. Regards, Tony V.
