That's what Alan said, ~arch, as shown by the ~ in front of the version |
| 20 |
number in the output from eix. |

handbrake-0.9.9 is not masked, it is keyworded, a very different thing. |
| 27 |
Masked means there is some reason if should not be generally used, |
| 28 |
keyworded just means the ebuild is recent and hasn't yet moved frmo |
| 29 |
testing to stable status. It is still in the main portage tree. |

Yes, ${PORTDIR}/profiles/package.mask contains al the masked packages |
| 35 |
along with the reasons for their masking. |

ffmpeg is a good example of user-hostile software, partly because video |
| 55 |
encoding is such a complex subject. Mencoder suffers similarly, which is |
| 56 |
why I suggested Handbrake in the first place. Pick your input file, |
| 57 |
choose an output preset and hit the big green Start button. |
