Re: [gentoo-dev] EAPI 7 can be used in the Gentoo repository

[Geaaru]

Hi,

I read documentation about new features for configure profiles, thanks.

In the past I open a discussion about permit use of annotation
<package>::<repos> under profiles package.mask to mask from overlay for
example gentoo/upstream packages.
Is now supported by eapi 7?

Thanks in advance.
G.
