> I am using the 0.2.10 version [masked] and it works great. That's what I'm running here, and I haven't unmasked it. Perhaps you mean ~amd64 keyworded? There's a difference between masked (listed in package.mask, also known as "hard" masked, indicating either serious known issues, or something so raw upstream that there could be unknown serious issues yet to appear) and ~arch keyworded (~ denoting either an upstream beta released on Gentoo for testing, in preparation for upstream full release, thus a version not likely to ever go stable, or an upstream release with no known serious issues, but where the Gentoo ebuild hasn't been fully tested yet, thus an upstream version considered stable, with a Gentoo ebuild in line for stable after testing). Especially for those of us running ~arch by default, that difference is huge, because it's the difference between being merged by default in an upgrade, and requiring manual unmasking to get it to merge. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
