Hi,
how can I unmask a use flag masked in profiles/base/package.use.mask? If I set the flag for the package in /
etc/portage/package.use it is simply ignored.
Concrete example: My /etc/portage/package.use contains the line:
dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin:9 doc gentoo-vm source
However the flag 'gentoo-vm' is always ignored because it is masked in profiles/base/package.use.mask with
the line:
dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin:9 gentoo-vm
What's the proper procedure to unmask the flag locally?
(Yes, I know it is experimental and yes I know what I am doing with it. I already use eselect for older EA builds
of Java 9 with 1.9 slot and new EA builds of Java 10 - just not the "official" Java 9 from the tree.)
Cheers,
Jörg
