3. :(

Actual Results:

There is 2.4.98 available in package.mask. The changes to 2.5.0 on top of that are minimal and quite insignificant. I will bump to 2.5.0 soon with maintainers permission, or the maintainer will do that tomorrow when at his intel graphics machine. But as I understand it, it will stay package.masked for a bit?

Done with a bunch of patches. Sorry for the wait, but as Mart said, 2.5.0 is hardly different from 2.4.98.0. :)

I put it as ~ without p.mask... let's see what happens.

Thanks

:) Thanks for adding the ebuild, i think nothing bad will happen even without the package.mask entry.
