Consider 'layman/rion' overlay, which has all leechcraft-* packages in 'profiles/package.mask' because they are in tree. Portage interprets that as if only overlay's version is masked, but 'eix' shows that all versions are, which is confusing for users. Portage can emerge package, but it's shown as masked in eix: [ebuild R *] net-misc/leechcraft-core-9999 USE="sqlite -debug -postgres" 0 kB Reproducible: Always Actual Results: [D]

confirm this bug as rion overlay committer
This is not easy to solve, since eix does not organize profiles per repository yet. Does anybody know what exactly is the "correct" behavior? Would it be correct to treat only profile/package.mask as if "::repository" would be appended to every package listed? But then, what happens if another repository is explicitly specified? It is really unclear to me what portage is doing, since e.g. a package.mask in the gentoo repository influences all repositories and not only "gentoo". So the gentoo repository is to be treated as an exception because of its name? What about /etc/portage/profile? It seems that pms does not specify the behavior clearly...
(In reply to comment #2) > Does anybody know what exactly is the "correct" behavior? > Would it be correct to treat only profile/package.mask as if > "::repository" would be appended to every package listed? That's right. This is the "repo level" package.mask, so it behaves as if atoms have implicit :: repo appended. > But then, what happens if another repository is explicitly specified? It's not allowed. The ::repo syntax is an extension that is not part of any official EAPI at this time. > It is really unclear to me what portage is doing, since e.g. a package.mask > in the gentoo repository influences all repositories and not only "gentoo". Not anymore. Every "repo level" package.mask now behaves as if atoms have implicit ::repo appended. > So the gentoo repository is to be treated as an exception because of its name? No, all "repo level" package.mask files behave he same. > What about /etc/portage/profile? This is a "profile level" package.mask, which does not have an implicit repo associated with it, so it behaves just like older portage. > It seems that pms does not specify the behavior clearly... That's probably because the old portage behavior was different, so it's unspecified.
Thanks for clarification. However, there is one thing which I still do not understand: > > It is really unclear to me what portage is doing, since e.g. a > > package.mask in the gentoo repository influences all > > repositories and not only "gentoo". > > Not anymore. Every "repo level" package.mask now behaves as if atoms have > implicit ::repo appended. For testing, I copied some package from /usr/portage/package.mask into my local overlay (e.g. ffmpeg), but portage does not want to install the higher versions from my overlay. Similarly, if a package is completely masked in /usr/portage/package.mask, portage does not want to install it from my local overlay, either. Do I misunderstand something or is this a bug in portage or not yet implemented in portage-2.2.0_alpha51

What's happening is that the local overlay is inheriting package.mask entries from the master repo (determined by PORTDIR). The code for this is located in /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/package/ebuild/_config/MaskManager.py: for master in repo.masters: master_lines = grab_pmask(master.location) lines.append(stack_lists([master_lines, repo_lines], incremental=1, remember_source_file=True, warn_for_unmatched_removal=True, strict_warn_for_unmatched_removal=strict_umatched_removal)) Later, it appends the overlay's repo to all those atoms: repo_pkgmasklines.extend(append_repo(stack_lists(lines), repo.name, remember_source_file=True)) Note that the master repo defaults to PORTDIR, but it can also be overridden with a "masters" entry in $OVERLAY/metadata/layout.conf. > Do I misunderstand something or is this a bug in portage > or not yet implemented in portage-2.2.0_alpha51 It's working like it's supposed to. I'm sorry I didn't mention this earlier. I wasn't familiar with this behavior.
Thanks. The issue is fixed in eix svn trunk (>=eix-0.23.0). Since eix does not support layout.conf, PORTDIR/package.mask is now hardcoded as acting globally.
