app-portage/gentoolkit-dev should contain a script to quickly unmask ebuilds. This makes the task of Architecture Testing extremely easy when you have a script that copies all pertinent files to your portage overly, unmasks the ebuild and re-digests the ebuild. I've been using a quick script I wrote for AT work with good results so far. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 66900 [details] my simple unmasking script
Created attachment 66906 [details] new version of my unmask script Updates to the script include... * uses the stable keyword of the current system or a user specified keyword. * unmasking of more than one version at a time, or all versions of a package. * use of getopt option flags. * a more gentoo friendly script name.
1. Can't hardcode /usr/portage, not all developers/users store packages there. 2. What if I want to keyword something in an overlay of mine from ~arch to arch or vice versa. 3. This script does not cover profile masking or package masking. Not sure if that is intended.
Alright then, revoking.
