hmm nice point |
| 2 |
i'd say do this ... `nano /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask` |
| 3 |
basically everything in there needs to be tested or is broken ... |
| 4 |
if you see an entry like: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
# <aliz@g.o> (12 Sep 2002) |
| 7 |
# Masked for testing |
| 8 |
=net-misc/freeswan-1.98b-r1 |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
then simply delete the line '=net-misc ...' |
| 11 |
and then run `emerge freeswan` |
| 12 |
this process is called unmasking simply because you are |
| 13 |
removing the file from the masking file ... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
if you have troubles with the emerge, then post your results |
| 16 |
to http://bugs.gentoo.org/ ... see if you can locate a previous |
| 17 |
bug first that deals with the package ... |
| 18 |
if it works well, then inform us (again via bugs.gentoo.org and |
| 19 |
a previous bug entry) ... but if the package doesnt have a bug |
| 20 |
entry, drop onto irc (irc.openprojects.net #gentoo & #gentoo-dev) |
| 21 |
and msg the guy who masked the package with your results |
| 22 |
of success ;) |
