In bug #471122 the following was added to package.use.stable.mask # Agostino Sarubbo <ago@gentoo.org> (24 May 2013) # Justin Lecher <jlec@gentoo.org> (30 May 2313) # Temporary mask because it needs texinfo-5 # hvm needs qemu #471122 >=app-emulation/xen-tools-4.2.1-r3 qemu hvm ocaml But no in-tree version of xen-tools has a dependency on >=sys-apps/texinfo-5, so at least qemu, and also hvm, which depends on qemu, can be removed from the mask. The texinfo-5 dep was removed with Bug #472976 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="hvm qemu" emerge xen Actual Results: xen-tools refuses to emerge with the hvm use flag Expected Results: emerge xen-tools with the hvm use flag
Forgot to add the info that USE=qemu was masked because it depended on a unstable texinfo-5
thanks for picking it up, fixed in the tree now
