| Why is it a lie?! Have you not accepted that version explicity in your |
| 27 |
| own config file? So, isn't that version available? If you do an emerge |
| 28 |
| emacs-csv, wouldn't it pull out the keyworded package? Note that eix |
| 29 |
| uses the "available" word, not "stable" or anything like that. By |
| 30 |
| using "available", it is dynamic and can give results accourding to |
| 31 |
| your personal config. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Sure ; you understand my using "lie" was a joke; but anyway I was |
| 34 |
interpreting the term "masked" as a property of the package common to all |
| 35 |
gentoo users, and it sounded (still does) strange to me; the man page: |
| 36 |
......................... |
| 37 |
OUTPUT If you used gentoo for more than a week you're probably going to |
| 38 |
immediately recognize the format of the |
| 39 |
versions-strings. Nevertheless, we are going to explain them here. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
[...] |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
*3.4.3-r2 |
| 44 |
That version is "masked by -* keyword". |
| 45 |
!3.3.3 This means the version is "masked by missing keyword". |
| 46 |
-0.8.14 |
| 47 |
Masked by -ARCH. |
| 48 |
~3.3.5.20050130 |
| 49 |
The version would be "masked by ~keyword". |
| 50 |
........................ |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
as I personally do not mask packages, I could assume they were masked by |
| 53 |
the external world... I should have read the man more carefully |
