Description Danny 2003-12-01 04:51:24 UTC

emerge -U world is trying to install the package alsa-driver into my system, this is a new package and not needed. Further, compilation of this package will always fail under a 2.6 kernel as alsa has been moved inside the kernel space. 

Alsa is the preffered sound architecture under 2.6 with 0ss being depricated. Untill the ebuild tests for a 2.6 environment the package alsa-driver should be masked as it is does not consider 2.6 users, preventing their systems updating cleanly.

Cheers, 
Danny

media-plugins/swh-plugins
media-plugins/alsa-xmms
media-sound/fluidsynth
media-sound/gamix
