Hi All,
I didn't have to do this before, so will need help to manage portage:
A particular package has been hard masked for removal. I would like
to either move it in my local portage, or even better emerge a more
recent version. So, I found an ebuild, modified it a bit and now I am
trying to emerge it, but it seems that the package.mask won't let me:
=========================================
!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- app-pda/plptools-0.13 (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Jeremy Olexa <darkside@gentoo.org> (30 May 2009)
# Masked for removal in 60 days. Doesn't build, version bump pending. Designed
# for really old PDA hardware (circa '90s) - will need a maintainer that has
# hardware. bug 227601
=========================================
I am trying to emerge v1.0.8, not 0.13 as shown above. Should the
above mask stop me emerging it from my local overlay? How do I allow
a local overlay emerge, while respecting portage's hard mask for
ebuilds in the main tree only?

Mick
