~ is for packages we're not sure is good to use ... it's masked for testing, so he's right The way I understood it to the ~arch thing is for packages that seem to work on their respective archs, but need more testing. Masking is only for broken packages. The rc3 ebuilds are masked currently. They should probably have the ~arch keyword instead, since they were "masked pending some testing" according to the package.mask. They do not appear to be broken. This is how the ~arch mechanism was explained to me anyway when I talked to some of the other devs. he said hes been using them for over a month so i thought it was good to go *shrug* Actually the _rc3 *is* broken. There are a couple of compile-time issues with the -driver package; it works for some people, though. I'm going to mark this bug as "invalid" and update the comment in the package.mask file to make it clear that the package is broken. Thanks. Fair enough. Thanks. A |
