This is something which probably should be in a FAQ, but I couldn't
find any mention of 'Masked' in the searchable documentation.
Can someone explain (or point me to a document which explains) exactly
what the implications of the 'Masked' annotation in entries like
1.penemunde:/home/digbyt> emerge --search kylix
Searching...
[ Results for search key : kylix ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
* x11-libs/kylixlibs3-borqt [ Masked ]
Latest version available: 3.0-r1
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
Size of downloaded files: 2,452 kB
Homepage: http://kylixlibs.sf.net
Description: Kylix 3 OE libraries
License: GPL-2
If, as I assume, it means that it will not install by default because
it is not yet stable, where can I find out what the known problems
on gentoo are, what considerations are then which should be taken
into account when deciding if I really want to risk it or not, and
if I do decide I need it, how to I override the mask....???
Any advice (or pointers to the description I couldn't find in the
documentation) appreciated...
Thanks,
DigbyT
