What other meanings could it have? What would be the problem with |
| 27 |
moving the package use flag masks from package.use.mask to package.mask? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
As we're talking about updating profiles EAPI, what do we need to get |
| 30 |
to be able to mask use flags for the stable tree, but not the testing |
| 31 |
tree? Also, should we get back to the discussion of decoupling |
| 32 |
keywords from ebuilds and move them to profiles? |
