Description Ciaran McCreesh 2007-03-29 11:11:52 UTC

Discussion for PMS TODO: Should profiles/package.mask lines be included in profile package.mask -line removal? Portage treats profiles/package.mask as being at the leftmost branch of the tree for this, but that's highly weird. The only people relying upon this are the bsd people, and that can easily be changed...

r147 disallows relying upon this behaviour.
