Nothing gets masked. It's simply ignored: # cat /etc/portage/package.mask >~dev-lang/php-4.4.4 # emerge -p php [SNIP] [ebuild N ] dev-lang/php-5.1.6-r6 USE=3D"..." # cat /etc/portage/package.mask >dev-lang/php-4.4.4-r9999 # emerge -p php [SNIP] [ebuild N ] dev-lang/php-4.4.4-r6 USE=3D"..." That goes for both stable and ~arch portage. =2D-=20 Bo Andresen --nextPart2216359.nXpQQEDkT1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBFpqF88/kKEzmwNNoRAnUPAKCVvg7DV7RSPw5T8Aj3KfNaP56UkACglLSn braM7H1hhuXfQJDd872eFmg= =gACP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2216359.nXpQQEDkT1-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
