Packages that are broken, unstable, or untested are masked. This means they |
| 14 |
are identified in the file /usr/portage/profile/package.mask. They are |
| 15 |
usually masked for a good reason, which is documented in that file. |

|

If you choose to have a go, just comment out the appropriate line in that |
| 18 |
file, but you're on your own. FWIW I've been played with gcc-3.0 (which was |
| 19 |
masked) for a while with mixed results. |
