I only use masked packages if I really need them (by adding them to package.keywords. > This is from my make.conf...... # Advanced Masking # ================ # # Gentoo is using a new masking system to allow for easier stability testing # on packages. KEYWORDS are used in ebuilds to mask and unmask packages based # on the platform they are set for. A special form has been added that # indicates packages and revisions that are expected to work, but have not yet # been approved for the stable set. '~arch' is a superset of 'arch' which # includes the unstable, in testing, packages. Users of the 'x86' architecture # would add '~x86' to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to enable unstable/testing packages. # '~ppc', '~sparc' are the unstable KEYWORDS for their respective platforms. # # Please note that this is not for development, alpha, beta, nor cvs release # packages. "Broken" packages will not be added to testing and should not be # requested to be added. Alternative routes are available to developers # for experimental packages, and it is at their discretion to use them. # # DO NOT PUT ANYTHING BUT YOUR SPECIFIC ~ARCHITECTURE IN THE LIST. # IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR ARCH, OR THE IMPLICATIONS, DO NOT MODIFY THIS. # #ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" #ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
