That is correct. udev-181 is getting unmasked (removed from |
| 51 |
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask), not stabilized (it will remain |
| 52 |
~x86/~amd64). For it to be keyworded amd64/x86, I would suspect it |
| 53 |
will take *at least* a month, probably longer. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
I would suspect that when it does get stabilized, the needed versions |
| 56 |
of dracut/genkernel/openrc will get stabilized too. |
