If I am not completely out of date, portage doesn't warn you if you have |
| 26 |
a package installed that is no longer available, meaning the ebuild was |
| 27 |
removed from your repositories. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
If you don't sync while the package is masked, you might not realise |
| 30 |
that you have removed software installed. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
That might be one reason to keep the package.mask entry longer than 15 |
| 33 |
days. Or I and the premise are completely wrong, then why don't you |
| 34 |
remove the package in one week? |
