Oh, nice...never though I had to look in there unless I wanted to tweak things I'm supposed to be twaeking elsewhere (like package.unmask) anyway :) Thanks! However, the winesetuptk and fileutils packages seem to be just gone without notice. If they had been masked for removal, I should have seen the respective message a few times before... cheers!

[gentoo-user] Disappearing ebuilds
Here's what I've been getting on the last few emerges: | huxley ~ # emerge -DNvuta world | | These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: | | Calculating world dependencies | !!! Packages for the following atoms are either all | !!! masked or don't exist: | app-crypt/gpg-agent media-gfx/sodipodi app-emulation/winesetuptk | net-misc/xfsamba | | ...done! These just seem to be masked. It happeded before, and sometimes there was a message in the Changelog, but usually there's none. On another machine, sys-apps/fileutils just disappeared. Do I have to follow gentoo-dev to catch when/why things like this will happen and possibly what other packages stuff is being moved to, or is there a comprehensive log where this is recorded? cheers!
