This will show warnings about "all versions masked or removed" for |
| 19 |
stable users that already installed <1.4 version before, and cause |
| 20 |
confusion. |

Maybe you could (either when final 1.4 hits ~arch or on 19th) change the |
| 23 |
RESTRICT="mirror" to RESTRICT="fetch" in <1.4 and explain the situation |
| 24 |
in pkg_nofetch() via einfo, telling users they either find the distfile |
| 25 |
themselves (might have it on another computer, or get from a friend or |
| 26 |
just maybe have luck with google) or use the ~arch 1.4. This won't |
| 27 |
affect users that already have <1.4 installed, or just have the distfile. |
