autounmask is set by default, you need to explicitly set it to off. > I'm a sysadmin, I have an inherent distrust of all things software and > automagic-config-changers are scary things indeed :-) autounmask doesn't actually do anything, it only tells you what should be added to /etc/portage/package.use. You need to use autounmask-write for that, which doesn't play nicely if package.use is a directory[1]. However, it does respect the --ask flag, making it safe for all but the most paranoid BOFHs (no names Alan) to use. [1] It writes to a file of its choosing in that directory, with no regard to its relevance. I'd prefer it to write to something like packagename.autounmasked or even just packagename as it adds a comment to the file to explain the content. -- Neil Bothwick Monday is the root of all evil!
