Bug 47406 – mm-sources_rc* should be masked ~arch

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description quannum 2004-04-09 20:58:15 UTC]

release candidate mm patches should not be apart of the stable release. I've ran into two separate buggy kernels because of rc's and i've searched bugzilla and found many others running into problems. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -pv mm-sources
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
if a release candidate is the latest release, it will show up 

Expected Results:  
only final releases show up without the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~arch

You're right. The ebuilds have been marked as unstable.

looks like lostlogic isn't aware of this bug

Fixed again. Ebuild updated and commited.

However, now there are no unmasked mm-sources (~arch) in portage which breaks emerge updates for several things. Currently I have to modify ebuilds to update with ati-drivers:

root@nemo ckdake # emerge -p mm-sources ati-drivers
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
