So, I want to install packages from an overlay, but only from a
specific group. In this case, the dev-qt/ group. The overlay name
is "qt".

It doesn't work:

  package.mask: */*::qt
  package.unmask: dev-qt/*-5.6*::qt

With this, 5.6 versions are still masked.

The syntax for "5.6*"-like versions has an equals at the start, for
example =dev-qt/qtbase-5.6*

That works.


so if it's allowed, =dev-qt/*-5.6*::qt
would be the correct package.unmask syntax.  Does that work?

Nope:

  "Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.unmask/qt: =dev-qt/*-5.6*::qt"

(Doesn't work with or without the "::qt".)
