Have you not accepted that version explicity in your | own config file? So, isn't that version available? If you do an emerge | emacs-csv, wouldn't it pull out the keyworded package? Note that eix | uses the "available" word, not "stable" or anything like that. By | using "available", it is dynamic and can give results accourding to | your personal config. Sure ; you understand my using "lie" was a joke; but anyway I was interpreting the term "masked" as a property of the package common to all gentoo users, and it sounded (still does) strange to me; the man page: ......................... OUTPUT If you used gentoo for more than a week you're probably going to immediately recognize the format of the versions-strings. Nevertheless, we are going to explain them here. [...] *3.4.3-r2 That version is "masked by -* keyword". !3.3.3 This means the version is "masked by missing keyword". -0.8.14 Masked by -ARCH. ~3.3.5.20050130 The version would be "masked by ~keyword". ........................ as I personally do not mask packages, I could assume they were masked by the external world... I should have read the man more carefully > | I guess its more a feature, it predicts exactly what portage will | do... I didn't even knew it was using my personal config files, that | is awesome! cheers, -- Jean -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
