Hi,
I am trying to emerge alsa-driver-1.0.10_rc2 on amd64. This package is
in /usr/portage/package.mask. Can I emerge it without editing
package.mask?
Thanks,
jules
Hi,
yes, you should not change /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, but instead add the package you want to /etc/portage/package.unmask in the same fashion as you use for package.keywords. After this, you package is no longer hard-masked, but you may still need to add it to package.keywords..
HTH,
Fernando
