Hey guys,

using Gentoo stable on AMD64

A few months ago there was a problem with gnome-panel-2.8.2 with new
versions of glibc which prevents you from adding items to the gnome
menu. In order to solve this problem, I added the following line to my
package.keywords

gnome-base/gnome-panel ~amd64

This upgraded my gnome-panel to gnome-panel-2.8.3 and everything works
fine.

This morning I did a regular emerge -uDp world on my Gentoo system. A
new version of gnome-panel is available - 2.10. The problem with this
is that it wants to upgrade my entire system to gnome2.10 just because
of the panel. Now, the latest stable version of gnome-panel is still
2.8.2. This means that I can't use v2.8.2 because is screws my menus
and I can't use 2.10 because gnome2.10 is still hard masked and screws
people's systems in general.

In order to upgrade, I did this:

=gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.8.3 ~amd64

Which keeps my system fixed at 2.8.3. But, how will I now know when I
have to remove this line? How will I know when gnome2.10 is no longer
hard masked?

Thanks,
