Description Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) gentoo-dev 2012-10-10 18:35:11 UTC 
Recently I wanted to mask "x11-drivers/ati-drivers-*_beta*" to prevent all beta versions of ati-drivers from being merged.  No current method of masking appears to work EXCEPT to mask all versions then unmask each specific non-beta version.

It would seem possible to extend portage to handle a mask like I wanted.

This is fixed in 2.1.11.26 and 2.2.0_alpha137.
