Description Dennis Schridde 2011-07-11 09:50:05 UTC 
Similar to --autounmask, --automask would offer to mask packages that failed during the current build cycle, including packages in the build queue that depend on the failed package.

The outcome is similar to --keep-going, only that the solution is simpler, because it only logs failed packages as package.mask atoms to the console, including all existing conflicting packaged that are currently to be emerged.
