• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

An ebuild unmasker program, writen in java. It deletes entry from package.mask, 
and from the build's KEYWORD section.

The program's ebuild pack

I haven't looked at this, but ekeyword provides the KEYWORDS functionality, if not the package.mask. agriffis was supposedly updating it, it might do both now. Might be worth asking him.

can you possibly submit this without compressing the tarball? just submit the ebuild itself please.

also, it does not need to delete entries in the package.mask -- it just needs to create an entry in /etc/portage/package.unmask

the runner script it is to the ${FILESDIR} directory

My apologies for leaving this go for so long.  I don't personally feel that it's worthwhile adding this to portage because it's not often that one should need to add things to package.unmask (and when you add them, they're relatively permanent).  Thanks.
