this version is masked via package.mask given the explanation that the package has not yet been released. i find this interesting as i am running mysql-4.0.11a and emerged it in my -u world yesterday. please unmask this file, it's quite an incovieniance and is masked for the wrong reasons.

It should really be masked. # cat /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql/files/digest-mysql-4.0.11a MD5 dbe1426ed5ae1626b2b1a3ebca568200 mysql-4.0.11a-gamma.tar.gz 12317114 please see the web site as well at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/index.html
fine, but i would like to see a little consistency on masking, please. unless the package changed from the time the ebuild was comitted to the time it was masked, i see no reason for it not being masked straight away.
well i dont know who you're talking to, i never flip-flopped it around in the first place. you probably want to vent to method@gentoo.org who may very well be a little sorry or embarrassed he did it - his mistake. dont whine to me about it, alright?
it was unmasked mistakenly ...
