autounmask is set by default, you need to explicitly set it to off. |

autounmask doesn't actually do anything, it only tells you what should be |
11 |
added to /etc/portage/package.use. You need to use autounmask-write for |
12 |
that, which doesn't play nicely if package.use is a directory[1]. |

However, it does respect the --ask flag, making it safe for all but the |

[1] It writes to a file of its choosing in that directory, with no regard |
17 |
to its relevance. I'd prefer it to write to something like |
18 |
packagename.autounmasked or even just packagename as it adds a comment |
19 |
to the file to explain the content. |
