[gentoo-dev] Overriding package mask

[Sebastian Werner]

Hi!

I want to use the beta version of gimp. So I unmask gimp in 
package.mask. But each rsync this file will be overwritten and I have to 
modify it again. We have a portage overlay support now... what's about 
to add a /usr/portage.local/profiles/package.ok which overrides 
package.mask in /usr/portage? Is it possible to implement something like 
this. I have some more programs which are declared as beta but I want to 
use :)

Regards

Sebastian
