maybe you're already doing this, but thought its
worth mentioning.
if you unmask packages, make sure you set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x<arch>" in
/etc/portage/package.keywords
setting that line in make.conf can be disastrous, as in its easier to
reinstall everything. and yes, that sucks as well. I've done it :(
Thanks! I have been doing that though... Like I said, aside from the
Pro-Audio Overlay, I'm going with stable packages for everything in the
whole distro...(except for the HP print manager HPLIP, which only works
with my printer in a masked version...which works perfectly!).
I suppose there are people who run ~arch for everything...probably
developers though.
pretty much everything in pro-audio overlay is masked.
i believe they
have a mailing list as well.
Yeah, I'm on it now. It seems to only get one message every few days.
