That's already happening. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
For example an INSTALL_MASK |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
INSTALL_MASK="/etc/systemd/" |
| 17 |
INSTALL_MASK="${INSTALL_MASK} /lib/systemd/" |
| 18 |
INSTALL_MASK="${INSTALL_MASK} /lib64/systemd/" |
| 19 |
INSTALL_MASK="${INSTALL_MASK} /usr/lib/systemd/" |
| 20 |
INSTALL_MASK="${INSTALL_MASK} /usr/lib64/systemd/" |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
is given. When you emerge a package you will see messages like |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
[...] |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |

If you keep logs, elogv for example will also show this information: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
│ [...] │ |
| 40 |
│ │ |
| 41 |
│INFO: other │ |
| 42 |
│Removing /etc/systemd/ │ |
| 43 |
│Removing /lib/systemd/ │ |
| 44 |
│Removing /lib64/systemd/ │ |
| 45 |
│Removing /usr/lib/systemd/ │ |
| 46 |
│Removing /usr/lib64/systemd/ │ |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
The downside is that this message will always appear when you have set |
| 49 |
an INSTALL_MASK. Even for packages which don't install anything into |
| 50 |
the masked paths. So people maybe tend to ignore this information |
| 51 |
because it is always shown :) |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
If this message would only be shown if the merged package is *really* |
| 54 |
affected by the INSTALL_MASK, this would be an improvement. |
