Bug 23861 – New option to emerge masked ebuilds and avoid the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS typing

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 14741
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Daniel Willmann 2003-07-02 03:36:31 UTC]

Well, since portage was designed with masked ebuilds in mind I think there
should be a built-in switch for emerge to automatically add ~arch to your
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS variable an thus avoid always typing the ACCEPT-KEYWORDS="~arch"
emerge thingie...

Patch for emerge to add the required functionality

This adds --masked or -m to the list of options which 
appends("~"+portage.settings["ACCEPT_KEYWORDS"]) to portage.groups, so that the
instable flag is also searched for.
