[gentoo-user] package.mask syntax

[Martins]

Hi,

Could you hint me on this, i want to mask whole tree on overlay sabayon like 
this:

kde-base/*
kde-misc/*

to get every package masked there, even those who probaly will be added later. 
OK, i know i can remove that overlay but I think i still need it.

As explained in bug #140002 wildcards are not supported in package.mask. What 
is the purpose anyway? Why not just remove the overlay entirely? Or make a 
partial checkout of the overlay (really that is the best solution if you want 
only a few packages from a big overlay)? What do you use to sync it?
