Description Valery Novikov 2008-10-16 04:24:52 UTC

unmasker is't a program which allow to automate process of unmasking packages and their denedencies in gentoo.

Unlike another tools for such purpose (eg autounmask), this supports new portage feature - sets and provide ability to control unmasking process very flexible.

You can use config file to remember your favorite options and you can override all of them using command line.

Few usage examples:

Unmask 3.5.10 version of kde-meta
# unmasker =kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.10
Unmask 3.5.10 version of kde-meta using only required versions and
try to use slot instead of version
# unmasker --prefer-slotted 1 --unmask-mode equal =kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.10
Unmask kde-svn slot of kde-meta package
# unmasker kde-meta:kde-svn
Umask kde-svn slot of kde-meta package and name generated files with specified prefix
# unmasker --postfix '_generated' kde-meta:kde-svn
Unmask lastest kde-meta package version
# unmasker --unmask-highest 1 kde-meta
Unmask highest version but don't use svn
# unmasker --unmask-highest 1 --suppress-svn 1 kde-meta

It works pretty stable for me and my friends.
