Hi there, |

The official policy for live ebuilds is the following one: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/src_unpack/cvs-sources/index.html |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I don't quite agree with this policy and I guess most of you don't agree |
| 8 |
either looking at the number of live ebuilds/package.mask entries. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
My proposal is to keep empty keywords on live ebuilds without masking |
| 11 |
them via package.mask |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Users interpret this as a 'double masking' which in fact it is since |
| 14 |
they need to touch two files before they are able to use the package. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I also know that we can use overlays for that, but distribute the |
| 17 |
ebuilds among dev/proj overlays is not always a solution. |
