[gentoo-dev] package.use.mask / package.use.stable.mask priority

[Bernard Cafarelli]

Hi folks,

gnustep-base/gnustep-make has a USE flag (libobjc2) masked globally in
base/package.use.mask, and unmasked on specific arches in
arch/{amd64,x86}/package.use.mask

To get a stabilization (#579232) bug finally moving on, I wanted to
leave this flag out, adding a corresponding line in
base/package.use.stable.mask

But repoman replied with a batch of dependency.bad errors...
Does package.use.mask (stable and ~arch) have a higher priority on
package.use.stable.mask (stable only)? Bug or intended behavior?

In the meantime, I will probably work around this by duplicating the
package.use.stable.mask entry in arches files
