Description thewtex 2008-07-03 14:37:47 UTC 
dev-util/cmake-2.6 has been masked for a long time, though there was no good reason to do so in the first place.  I have been using it and have not had any problems.

Reproducible: Always

Assigning to cryos because he masked it. (see below)

/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Marcus D. Hanwell <cryos@gentoo.org> (08 May 2008)
# Masking new version until it has received a little more testing
Comment 2 Ingmar Vanhassel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-03 15:26:34 UTC 
It was masked initially because we wanted to see it tested against more apps before unmasking, instead of possibly breaking ~arch.

There's also bug 224901 which no one had time to look at yet.
Comment 3 Bram Schoenmakers 2008-07-29 06:32:40 UTC 
Isn't ~arch supposed to break sometimes? That's whole point of the ~ prefix, no?

Just a notice, next week, KDE trunk is going to require this version of CMake. It would be nice if I could get this CMake version from Portage.

Sorry about the delay. Now that Brad got the patch in for cmake 2.6.1 I see no reason to keep this package masked. Unmasked. I have been using this for testing and not encountered any issues.
