[gentoo-dev] Remove your modular X unmask

[Donnie Berkholz]

Hi all,

This is a reminder to everybody that now modular X is in ~arch, you need 
to REMOVE YOUR MODULAR X UNMASK.


We're getting lots of issues because people aren't doing this and are 
getting package.mask'd versions of programs because they forgot about it.


In particular, xorg-server 1.0.99 has an ABI break, which breaks all 
Nvidia and ATI binary drivers.


Thanks,
Donnie

Welcome back Jon, you're now added to my list of devs to annoy when I have 
Asterisk questions :-)

Being the one to take the pieces of confcache, I'm _really_ happy to see that 
happening :)

Nope, lets bring it to -dev ( yay crossposting )

The issue for those on the -dev ML, is that portage has some features
that require binaries ( sandbox, ccache, confcache ) and so you need two
things for them to work.  You need FEATURES={sandbox,ccache,confcache}
and you need each package installed.  The FEATURES line is already
printed.  sandbox is already in info_pkgs.

Is there any problem with adding dev-util/confcache and dev-util/ccache
to info_pkgs?

Could you rephrase the question? I don't understand it.

Thanks,
