1 Hi, Gentoo!
2
3 After synching, I've got a whole lot of programs to emerge, amongst them
4 being udev-197. :-( I'd rather do this on its own, in peace and quiet,
5 rather than together with 12 or 13 other programs.
6
7 emerge -puND world generates these:
8
9 [ebuild U #] sys-fs/udev-197-r4 [171-r9] USE="acl%* kmod%* openrc%* -doc% -static-libs%"
10 [ebuild U #] virtual/udev-197 [171]
11
12 . The # indicates the packages are masked in packages.mask, which
13 indeed they are. The emerge man-page indicates that these new versions
14 will nevertheless be merged. But surely this is what the entry in
15 packages.mask is to prevent? Why does emerge want to merge udev-197 in
16 this case? How do I stop it?
17
18 What am I missing here?
