Description Mike Limansky 2006-06-27 04:45:09 UTC

I wrote:
>dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0
in /etc/portage/package.unmask
and
>=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.07
in /etc/portage/package.mask

but emerge -pv sun-jdk try to install =dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.07.

Not a bug, package.unmask entries are parsed last, so you've unmasked it.

Comment 2 Mike Limansky 2006-06-27 06:27:45 UTC

i see, what it's parsed last, but how can i unmask packages from one version to another version now? i think it's realy needed, couse last versions may have dependesies which i don't want to install...
