In Reply to: [gentoo-ppc-dev] Newest binutils and portage weirdness by Stephan van Maris
1 hi there.
2 i marked binutils-2.13.0.90.18 stable for ppc and unmasked it in
3 profiles/default-1.4-ppc/packages. it's unmasked on ppc because the KDE
4 3.1 compile breaks without it. i've compiled kde 3.1 and gnome 2.2
5 against it. gerk has compiled kde 3.1 (and lots more stuff) against it.
6 it seems to be very stable thus far.

8 as for it being masked, you may have hit a bad rsync mirror. this exact
9 thing happened to me this morning. i did another emerge rsync (different
10 mirror) and the problem was gone. the mirror i had trouble with was in
11 japan. i've written our rsync guy about this.
12
13 everything should have gone smoothly. you just got bitten by a stale
14 mirror.
15 nall.
