Description Stephen Bennett (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-29 09:16:37 UTC 
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/profiles/packages/index.html is rather vague and incomplete. Suggested addition to follow as attachment.

Done, thanks for the patch.
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-29 11:10:01 UTC 
The reason for this change being paludis and Bug 149508? Or, could you clarify the reason for the change? Because mind you, there's no reason for this with portage, it doesn't need the package.mask entries at all.
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-09-29 11:15:19 UTC 
stop wasting everybody's time, the changes are correct
Comment 5 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-29 11:23:07 UTC 
Sigh. Changing devmanual and profiles on the fly without waiting for portage folks to say a word about this and without any apparent reason is really a wonderful way of doing things and makes a perfect sense. Thanks for explanation.
