It's well known that pmasked stuff isn't supported. One can't add a use flag to an ebuild and then turn around and say oh that use flag isn't supported. If it's not supported it shouldn't be there.
Also might want to submit the ebuild to breakmygentoo or some other overlay. - -Alec Warner (antarus) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBQzHZqWzglR5RwbyYAQL7tw//f9WhiSydb1lORaClSjx7xBI0h9cNy+KS 8ODoZNEbIsVoKisgi3aCOKuKCRY6iWuhcM/XEX5jUiEQ8EQuJfDQGPAtYYiS91XQ WMz68IU7rT5gUcAcC78JYBzyQgGsMPwQmc0SFtu0Hzdo/ZT1s8YGdNyqrsC7cZj6 FfAhWsbNdFNE2zve4xLpQld9NhMBXAlLfY9LSuzELV/M2V9c2qqPHD078BhAfiWO Vo/OoBwNiKs/LJG8PDgV4qyZkd/SDsJXH+pttfbhlvlC+n821QNxZhYvpT91iZFf 4GiUVgsOjI64iT0AmO1wUZFSijf51kT2Z6Ae3cIWCXfWkxTG/2wIsMuueQBk4DSq Wfp1vZ/WFCgNr5XcaEo51rj9npCOu4LllWiYQcIaGGVyTpPp75pTeyVsdN313TKf PmIWIDxcT4xFxoU+jyAXg7uG5aZa9pLON47wRqoy0FMQTsz1nTpOJZka5mSFJBGJ FEsrUOR7IQGhUFX53DY7rrOvLL1jafEITemhVc/J3x+f67XDc374uTTMJ85AA23S rMoem9ekTj0eioaKGHVaAQ/sZJ1rgHymVTiXPcyQOKohuH/ra3FXpPYcgCzZggE4 EMML956r5o5H9k55zAgWJpcER+JVuXIBMXCWnuJ2Vt13kSoKfdwxkc/QTZhIVioQ SqfJQ7gxa0w= =xV+j -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
