It basically adds a bunch of packages to /etc/portage/packages.unmask |
| 12 |
and /etc/portage/packages.keywords, bracketed by start/end comments so |
| 13 |
you can remove them. It's a quick and easy way of emerging something |
| 14 |
with a lot of masked dependencies, like kde-meta:4. |

I used it the last time I tried KDE4 and it did just as was expected, |
| 17 |
except is added =cat/pkg-vers, which I changed to ~cat/pkg/vers so I |
| 18 |
could pick up and fixes. |
