I confirm. The latest unmasked version is 319.76 (I'm using that one.) |
26 |
331.20 is also in portage (latest upstream stable), but it's masked in |
27 |
portage. Usually, if you try to explicitly emerge something that's |
28 |
masked, you get a message telling you why it's masked: |
29 |
|
30 |
$ emerge -p =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-331.20 |
31 |
... |
32 |
[ebuild U #] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-331.20 [319.76] |
33 |
|
34 |
The following mask changes are necessary to proceed: |
35 |
(see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details) |
36 |
# required by =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-331.20 (argument) |
37 |
# /usr/portage/profiles/targets/desktop/kde/package.mask: |
38 |
# Andreas K. Huettel <dilfridge@g.o> (1 Dec 2013) |
39 |
# Mask recent nvidia drivers because of sigprocmask corruption, bug |
40 |
487558 |
41 |
# (this hits akonadi and makes significant parts of KDE hang) |
42 |
=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-331.20 |
43 |
|
44 |
So it was masked due to conflicts with KDE. If you're not using KDE, it |
45 |
might be safe to unmask it. |
