[gentoo-user] Firefox 3.5...

[gentoo-user] Firefox 3.5...

[BRM]

I'm running firefox 3.0.14 on my gentoo x86 laptop. I'd like to upgrade to 3.5, which I'm using on other non-gentoo systems. A quick google search (gentoo firefox 3.5) showed that 3.5 was unmasked months ago; yet checking my local portage (emerge --search firefox) only reveals 3.0.14 as the latest; nothing in /etc/portage/package.* reveals any local masking to hide 3.5.

Looking on-line shows that 3.5.4 should be unmasked:

http://packages.gentoo.org/package/www-client/mozilla-firefox

Yet looking at /usr/portage/www-client/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefox-3.5.4.ebuild yields:

...

Which clearly shows it's masked for x86...what's up?
I synced portage and it's still masked; I checked my local portage mirror (I run a rsync mirror for my own network since I have 3 computers running gentoo) and it's masked there too. (The mirror is sync'd daily; I only sync the other two systems as I need.)

What do I need to do to resolve this?

sync again. My local ebuild has a datestamp of yesterday. I suspect your 
mirrors are running behind.

I keyworded and installed Firefox 3.5.4 yesterday, and now it is no
longer keyworded.  As Alan said, dated 11/10/2009.
