I'm not at a Gentoo machine right now, but in addition to the inputs |
| 25 |
from Akos and Paul there is a Gentoo app (which unfortunately I don't |
| 26 |
remember the name but is something obvious like auto-unblock, etc.) |
| 27 |
that does auto-unblocking and adds lines to portage.unmask, |
| 28 |
portage.keywords, etc. It puts comments around the lines it adds so |
| 29 |
that it's easy to see what it did. sometimes you need to run it a |
| 30 |
couple of times to get to a point where you'll get a clean install, |
| 31 |
but it does work. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Might be another option for you. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
hope this helps, |
