profiles/features/64bit-native/package.mask lists app-emulation/vmware-player with this comment: # AMD64 Team <amd64@gentoo.org> # Mask packages that rely on amd64 multilib However, VMware Player 3 is available in a native 64-bit version that does not require multilib. There are ebuilds in the vmware-overlay that are now improperly masked because of the too-general specification in this profile. Please change the mask to: <app-emulation/vmware-player-3
Same thing in profiles/arch/amd64/no-multilib/package.mask.
This bug should be closed, I think.
vmware-player is still masked for using multilib grep -re vmware-player default/linux/uclibc/amd64/package.mask:app-emulation/vmware-player arch/amd64/no-multilib/package.mask:app-emulation/vmware-player features/64bit-native/package.mask:app-emulation/vmware-player ChangeLog-2009: Mask off insecure versions of vmware-workstation and vmware-player.
