Sorry, I do not understand the point you are trying to make. Nethack has |
| 22 |
an unresolved security bug, and if you want to install it anyway, put |
| 23 |
it in your /etc/portage/package.unmask -- as described in |
| 24 |
"man emerge". I do not see the gain by setting up a system that would |
| 25 |
completely ignore *all* security-related package masks. |
