In a large block inside profiles/arch/arm/use.mask commented by "havent tested yet" the flag "plotutils" can be found. However now all versions of media-libs/plotutils have arm keyword: Keywords for media-libs/plotutils: | | u | | a a a n p r s | n | | l m r h i m m i p i s p | u s | r | p d a m p a 6 i o p c s 3 a x | s l | e | h 6 r 6 p 6 8 p s p 6 c 9 s r 8 | e o | p | a 4 m 4 a 4 k s 2 c 4 v 0 h c 6 | d t | o -------+---------------------------------+-----+------- 2.6 | + + ~ o + + o o o + + o + o + + | o 0 | gentoo 2.6-r1 | + + ~ o ~ ~ o o o ~ ~ o ~ o ~ + | o | gentoo For the few users of the use flag media-gfx/pstoedit/pstoedit-3.61.ebuild emf flash imagemagick plotutils media-gfx/pstoedit/pstoedit-3.62.ebuild emf flash imagemagick plotutils pptx static-libs media-gfx/pstoedit/pstoedit-3.70-r1.ebuild emf flash imagemagick plotutils pptx static-libs media-gfx/pstoedit/pstoedit-3.70.ebuild emf flash imagemagick plotutils pptx static-libs sci-electronics/gwave/gwave-20090213-r1.ebuild gnuplot plotutils sci-visualization/gnuplot/gnuplot-4.6.5.ebuild aqua bitmap cairo doc examples +gd ggi latex lua plotutils qt4 readline svga thin-splines wxwidgets X it is easy to check that it only controls dependence on media-libs/plotutils. Hence it should be safe to drop the mask. Because of the mask media-gfx/inkscape-0.91-r2 has dropped arm keyword.
Pull request at https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/1923 . Let's what the QA bot says.
The pull request breaks gnuplot. It seems that either some version of plotutils needs to be stabilized before merging it or plotutils should be moved into use.stable.mask.
Latest stable gnuplot doesn't depend on plotutils anymore.
The other option is to drop =gnuplot-4.6.5 to ~arm, which has no real downside as =gnuplot-5.0.1-r1 is already stable on arm.
ping? (The pull request has been updated to implement the suggestion from comment 4 a while ago.)
The pull request has been merged. plotutils is now unmasked on arm.
