Hi, I had manually built (via my own local overlay) more recent versions of large chunks of X to get around some slugish performance on my Intel based setup. However I noticed by xf86-video-intel driver got downgraded today due to an updated package.mask with the message:
R?mi Cardona <r...@gentoo.org> (29 Apr 2009) # packages currently in the x11 overlay which will soon be moved to portage # see bug #260582 for xorg-server 1.6.1 issues # see bug #174434 for xcb-related issues (not all are blocker) Which is great but what do I do in the meantime? I thought I may as well try the x11 overlay so added it to layman but obviously the package mask is still in effect. I assume the manually editing /usr/portage/profile/package.mask will cause problems when the package.mask is updated. I can see the overlay has it's own profile stuff that prevents dev builds (99999) being built accidentally but nothing that overides the profile mask settings. Basically I'm a little lost on how to run recent X11 (myself or via the x11 overlay) the "correct" way until the packages finally make it into the portage tree. -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ CV: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/cv.php
