[gentoo-user] license mask

hi!

when I try to update virtualbox-ose-additions, portage says:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy
"~app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-additions-3.0.8" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-additions-3.0.8 (masked by: PUEL license(s))
A copy of the 'PUEL' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/PUEL'.

it suggests me to read the Gentoo Handbook, but it isn't updated.

what should I do to unmask this package? I've never seen this kind of
masking.

thanks!

In make.conf:

   ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"

to unmask all licenses.  Or else name the licenses you wish unmasked one 
by one.

Yeah, they added this in a recent portage-2.2 rc. It masks end user 
license agreements by default (-@EULA is the syntax, if I recall correctly)

I checked make.conf.example and this is not documented yet.  I'm on
portage-2.2_rc46.  Is it in a later version or did I miss something? 
The file I checked is here:

/usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example

Just curious.

You've got a recent enough version, I think it came in around rc44 or 
so. Look in 'man make.conf' for the info on it...I guess they haven't 
changed make.conf.example yet.

Yep, it was in there.  I always check the example.  Looks like that may
be a bad habit nowadays.  ;-)

Thanks.

It also neatly solves the problem in the "Skipping interactive emerges"
thread, as EULAs have a nasty habit of stopping unattended emerges.

If at first you don't succeed you'll get lots of advice.

Another option is to create /etc/portage/package.license and put the 
licenses you want to accept in here. The portage man page has a little info 
about it. Mine looks like this:

games-fps/quake3-bin    Q3AEULA
games-fps/quake3-data   Q3AEULA

thanks, that worked!

I put:

app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-additions PUEL

in the file /etc/portage/package.license

=)
