RE: [gentoo-user] How do I get php4
I am having trouble unmasking a php4 ebuild. I have in my /etc/portage/package.keywords the following line dev-lang/php-4.4.4-r8 ~x86 but emerge still complains about the package being masked. What am I doing wrong here?

RE: [gentoo-user] How do I get php4
OK, thanks much -- the strange thing is when I did emerge -s php how come I did not see the php4 packages -- only the php5 ones? Also, is there any way while doing a search to see the reason for a package being masked?
