Proposed iptables-1.6.0 ebuild
This ebuild also adds the nftables USE flag to enable the nftables compatibility tools.
Note: the nftables USE flag will need to be masked for the following architectures as net-libs/libnftnl does not support them:
- alpha
- hppa
- ia64
- powerpc
- sparc

I am especially interested in ppc.

Google does does not tell me anything either nor does the sources for net-libs/libnftnl (In reply to Joakim Tjernlund from comment #5) seems pretty obvious to me: the bug is requesting keyword testing, therefore the logical conclusion is that the package isn't yet keyworded or tested, so it is masked until someone does. this is Gentoo SOP.

I guess I don't fully grasp Masking then. I figured masking was for known problems with the pkg, not that it had to be tested by someone before keywording was allowed. I clearly have some learning to do here. |
