Ebuilds for the following packages are either all !!! masked or don't > exist: > media-libs/tunepimp Exactly, altho I did make the slight mistake of saying downgrade, when we are talking removing from the tree so it would be (as above) all masked, not just a downgrade. With all versions masked, the warning is more verbose than simply a downgrade, including a mention of why (in this case package.mask, with the package.mask entry and associated comment, with portage 2.1.1-preX anyway). <quote> !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "tunepimp" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - media-libs/tunepimp-0.4.2 (masked by: package.mask) # Diego Pettenò <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (24 Jul 2006) # TunePimp has security problems (#140184) and isn't API stable yet # scheduled for removal. - media-libs/tunepimp-0.3.0 (masked by: package.mask) - media-libs/tunepimp-0.4.0 (masked by: package.mask) - media-libs/tunepimp-0.3.0-r1 (masked by: package.mask) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. </quote> So it tells you exactly which packages are available but masked, that they're masked and by what (package.mask), and what the comment masking them is -- scheduled for removal due to security bugs, with a bug number. That seems like all the necessary info to me, including a bug to look up for more information, if desired. The "scheduled for removal" certainly suggests to me that if I want to keep it, I better put it in my overlay /now/. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
