Re: [gentoo-user] New xorg-proto package blocks everything else.

Just a stupid question: Did you add =scrnsaverproto-1.2.2-r1 to package.mask? Because the -r2 is stable and nothing should prevent it from being merged... I am running partly testing and the time xorg-proto was added I had to deal with hard blocks which I circumvented by un-keywording (remove from

Very often, for a some large FLOSS project (often but not always packaged by gentoo) I am interested in answering the question: Which official released released versions V1.0, V2.0 etc contain a particular commit C1ABCDE? Using branches as an imperfect but mostly OK proxy for releases, the

[gentoo-user] Ubuntu with Gentoo somehow...

Hi, is there a way to download the archive (or how is it called in the world of Ubuntu ?) of a program, from which I only know the apt-get and apt-install commands? And how can I do the same for a developer release of that program when I additionally know the ppa (whatever that is...?) I onlu

[gentoo-user] New xorg-proto package blocks everything else.

It seems that newly introduced x11-base/xorg-proto-2018.4 package blocks everything else. What to do? Is there better option in this case than unmerging xorg-server? Thank you. # emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse --backtrack=90 --ask world These are the packages that would be
