Exactly, altho I did make the slight mistake of saying downgrade, when we |
| 25 |
are talking removing from the tree so it would be (as above) all masked, |
| 26 |
not just a downgrade. With all versions masked, the warning is more |
| 27 |
verbose than simply a downgrade, including a mention of why (in this case |
| 28 |
package.mask, with the package.mask entry and associated comment, with |
| 29 |
portage 2.1.1-preX anyway). |

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "tunepimp" have been masked. |
| 33 |
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: |
| 34 |
- media-libs/tunepimp-0.4.2 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 35 |
# Diego Pettenò <flameeyes@g.o> (24 Jul 2006) |
| 36 |
# TunePimp has security problems (#140184) and isn't API stable yet |
| 37 |
# scheduled for removal. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
- media-libs/tunepimp-0.3.0 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 40 |
- media-libs/tunepimp-0.4.0 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 41 |
- media-libs/tunepimp-0.3.0-r1 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 42 |
|

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or |
| 44 |
refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |

So it tells you exactly which packages are available but masked, that |
| 48 |
they're masked and by what (package.mask), and what the comment masking |
| 49 |
them is -- scheduled for removal due to security bugs, with a bug number. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
That seems like all the necessary info to me, including a bug to look up |
| 52 |
for more information, if desired. The "scheduled for removal" certainly |
| 53 |
suggests to me that if I want to keep it, I better put it in my overlay |
| 54 |
/now/. |
