Bug 23341 – Packages work on Alpha but are masked out

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul Moore 2003-06-23 13:37:51 UTC]

The following packages should probably be marked at least '~alpha' if not 'alpha'.

* xemacs-packages-sumo
* ethereal
* dos2unix
* unix2dos
* rox
* bbsload
* bbpager
* openbox


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The above packages were still masked.

Expected Results:  
The above packages should not be masked.

Already reported on http://stable.gentoo.org?

Thanks i've marked them.

stable.gentoo.org is neat, but isnt very useful to us, we cant make a query like `not marked for Alpha, but Alpha users successfully merged > 0`, the only way to do that is search for `not marked on Alpha` and then browse every entry for any users marked on Alpha...

I remember someone saying that he wanted to make stable.gentoo actually useful - already tried to contact this someone? (if I just had a better memory for names...)
