Subject: [gentoo-user] Masking for Educational Purposes only ?
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2008 09:15:46 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tkrat.defb7a5de1f3ac10@igpm.rwth-aachen.de> (raw)

Hi,

portage-2.2.. has been masked.
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask tells me why

"In order to ensure that portage-2.1.6 gets sufficient testing,
 portage-2.2 will be masked in package.mask until portage-2.1.6 has
 been marked stable."

I feel like someone will try to educate me.
Yes, I can and will unmask it again, but why
am I forced to?

I'd prefer if package.mask is used for buggy or dangerous
packages only.
