Description Billy DeVincentis 2008-10-03 00:12:49 UTC
Can't explain why but it seems that above 400 entries, himerge will begin to trim down the last 40 entries or so over your package.unmask . Wasn't a problem until I tried to unmask kde-4.1.2

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Billy DeVincentis 2008-10-11 16:57:28 UTC
Now that kde 4.1.2 has been unmasked and the package.unmask file is smaller it now functions normal but please consider this limitation for the next release.
Thanks

Hello Billy,

I still have not been able to reproduce this bug ... can you please send me to my email address the package.unmask that is causing the problem?

Nevertheless, I just committed an important bug fix in the package branch browser in the development repo, please try it out if you can.

Regards,

Hi Luis,
   Unfortunately I no longer have the package mask file which was causing the problem, I have happily deleted those behemoths that were necessary to unmask kde4 but the problem seemed to occur on both of my gentoo machines when the mask or unmask file was over 350 entries, that seemed to be the cutoff point where everything after that would get trimmed off. 
  Please give me the web address of your developer overlay as I couldn't find it.
Comment 4 Billy DeVincentis 2008-10-12 04:01:44 UTC
Actually I found it and I have it installed, I will let you know how it is.

I have just created a trac wiki for himerge.

Please report any further error or bug there first before b.g.o.

Closing this ticket, and I have not been able to reproduce this problem, please, try with latest version 0.30.30 , many fixes regarding package branch are included there.

Open further bugs in http://trac.haskell.org/himerge/

Thanks for reporting,
