I don't really understand the problem.
I use ~x86 for everything. What I pasted in my previous email works
fine for me. I don't really know what engage is, but I tried to run it
one time and I dont think it worked, I got some strange black block on
the bottom of my screen, so I killed it.
engage is a dockbar and E17 module.
What I was saying is that you masked the packages as -* (for the cvs version). Masking them with ~x86 would give you the snapshot version. So, following from you script, you masked them as -*. But, I already installed a small set (while emerging engage) masked as ~x86.
So I wanted to know if I should just replace ~x86 per -* (and add the remaining packages) or would I need to unmerge the installed packages and redo everything using -* for all packages.
This because is not good idea to mix ebuilds from -* and ~x86.
Hope it's clear now...
Cheers,
Fernando
