Because it should not have been unmasked in the first place. That was a |
| 6 |
mistake on my part, to not notice that I hadn't masked it when I masked |
| 7 |
everything else. |

It's an ebuild for an old snapshot of freenx. We have better ebuilds in |
| 12 |
the NX overlay, thanks to Jon Scruggs and everyone who's been |
| 13 |
contributing via bugzilla. |

Those ebuilds will be moved into Portage asap, just as soon as I've |
| 16 |
caught up on my code reviewing. The feedback from visitors to |
| 17 |
#gentoo-nx has been very positive (although I believe printing remains |
| 18 |
an issue atm). |

I'll time this so that the mask is added along with the latest ebuilds, |
| 25 |
so that, although it will look like a downgrade, what users will get |
| 26 |
will be much better. |
