Hi there, The official policy for live ebuilds is the following one:
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/src_unpack/cvs-sources/index.html I don't quite agree with this policy and I guess most of you don't agree either looking at the number of live ebuilds/package.mask entries. My proposal is to keep empty keywords on live ebuilds without masking them via package.mask Users interpret this as a 'double masking' which in fact it is since they need to touch two files before they are able to use the package. I also know that we can use overlays for that, but distribute the ebuilds among dev/proj overlays is not always a solution. -- Markos Chandras (hwoarang) Gentoo Linux Developer Web: http://hwoarang.silverarrow.org Key ID: 441AC410 Key FP: AAD0 8591 E3CD 445D 6411 3477 F7F7 1E8E 441A C410
