Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2008-09-01 19:05:01 UTC 
I miss an app for keywording a lot of files easily, for example, if I would want to unmask gnome-2.22 I would simply do:
autounmask gnome-base/gnome

But, once gnome is unmask, if I want to keyword it and all its dependencies I cannot use autounmask because it would also unmask HARD MASKED ebuilds

I would prefer an option for only unmask packages masked by KEYWORD 

Thanks a lot

Reproducible: Always
