Do we break anything? > Secondly there's bug #289144 which hasn't been processed yet. perl-5.10 is still masked. > Thirdly 2.010801-r1 is the only version of math-pari that is set to be > concurrently installed with sci-mathematics/pari-2.3.4 which is now being > stabilised. Stable dev-perl/crypt-rsa depends on stable dev-perl/crypt-random > which depends on dev-perl/math-pari. So this breaks the tree for stable users > of both crypt-* packages (and maybe more). In fact 2.010801-r1 is the only version ... with sci-mathematics/pari-2.3*. There is no new problem introduced with stable pari-2.3.4. The problem is the same with stable pari-2.3.2. I am all for unmasking it -- but i won't take any responsiblity for any problems. math-pari-2.01080601 is in the tree, uses pari-2.3.4 and is not masked. |
