It turns out that /etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 2 |
and /etc/portage/package.unmask can be directories, which is convenient |
| 3 |
for organizational purposes. If this is the case, autounmask does the |
| 4 |
smart thing and creates the file autounmask-pkgname (in this case, |
| 5 |
autounmask-kde-meta) in those folders. I find this a much easier way to |
| 6 |
try it out, and maintain its additions. |
