Description Alfredo Matos 2003-10-12 08:40:45 UTC

It would be good to mention  /etc/portage/package.mask in the emerge manpage.
Since it's very very usefull, and stays between sync's.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




A lot of people need this, and end up on #Gentoo, asking about how to do this.
It would be good info.
