[gentoo-dev] local package.mask / or unmask

[gentoo-dev] local package.mask / or unmask

[Tom Prado]

Hello all,

There's probably something in the documentation describing how to do 
this but I couldn't seem to find anything anywhere.    I have 
modifications to my /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask but everytime I 
emerge rsync, I loose them all and have to reapply.   Is there a way to 
have a local package.mask file that I can use to both mask specific 
versions of packages and unmask others that are currently masked in the 
central one?  I tried creating one in /usr/portage.local/profiles (after 
setting PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf) but that didn't seem to have 
any effect.

Thank you for your time,
Tom Prado

There's a script out there (forums I believe I found it) that will tell
you what new ebuilds there are, every time you rsync....A little hack
overwrites package.mask with your local one (set by the script)....Be
carefull though...Once new ebuilds start crawling in (ALWAYS tested in
package.mask first; but not for you....if you're using this script
anyway ;-)

It also has functionality for a different thirdpartymirrors file and
reservers a package.mask.rsynced (=Current package.mask) in
$PORTDIR_OVERLAY 

I named it 'er' after the proces emerge rsync ;-)

Have fun,

Rigo
