"live" cvs.eclass ebuilds are generally only intended for the |
| 38 |
convenience of developers and should always be masked with a ~[arch] |
| 39 |
keyword. It is impossible to guarantee the reliability of a "live" |
| 40 |
cvs.eclass ebuild since the upstream cvs tree may change at any time, |
| 41 |
which is why they should always be masked. |
