Description Will Reinhart 2004-03-07 14:57:41 UTC

It would be helpful is portage would specify whether a masked package is blocked by /etc/portage/package.mask or by /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask.  As it is, both show up as "(masked by: package.mask)" in the output of an "emerge foo" command.

Putting a hold on feature requests for portage as they are drowning out the 
bugs. Most of these features should be available in the next major version of 
portage. But for the time being, they are just drowning out the major bugs and 
delaying the next version's progress. 
 
Any bugs that contain patches and any bugs for etc-update or dispatch-conf can 
be reopened. Sorry, I'm just not good enough with bugzilla. ;)
