1 Hi,

3 I started emerge -e @world
4
5 and it stops with this message:

7 The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
8 (see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
9 # required by @selected
10 # required by @world (argument)
11 # /usr/portage/profiles/releases/17.0/package.mask:
12 # Andreas K. Huettel <dilfridge@g.o> (27 May 2017)
13 # In the 17.0 profiles we assume that our system compiler uses C++14
14 # or later as default language setting. This means it has to be at
15 # least GCC 6. If you need an older compiler for specific purposes,
16 # feel free to unmask it, however, using it for normal emerging of
17 # packages is neither recommended nor supported in any way.

31 For me it is unclear, whether I should unmask or mask these compilers.
32 So I added them to /etc/portage/package.mask/. ,restarted the whole
33 thing only to get the same message.
34
35 So...from the logical point of view unmasking would be the correct
36 way....but we are all urged to >gcc-6.4.0 ... so unmasking would be
37 wrong...also from a logical point of view.
