See the section "Masked Packages" about 70% down on this page: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1 For specific information about the masked version, go to http://packages.gentoo.org/, search for the package, and click the version number about whose mask you're interested. Unfortunately, Kylixlibs3-borqt isn't the greatest example since there isn't much information provided. For a better example, check out the changelog for nxserver-personal. http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/net-misc/nxserver-personal/ChangeLog Best Regards, Dave -- [email protected] mailing list
