Since update from sys-apps/portage-2.3.24-r1 to sys-apps/portage-2.3.40-r1 INSTALL_MASK is not being respected any more (at least for files installed from binpkg). With newer portage /var/db/pkg/** does have a INSTALL_MASK whose contents match expected mask but all files listed still end up installed. Snipplet of /etc/portage/package.env: ... dev-db/mariadb-connector-c INSTALL_MASK.conf dev-db/mariadb-connector-c.conf ... Contents of /etc/portage/env/INSTALL_MASK.conf: INSTALL_MASK="*.a *.o *.la /lib/systemd/*/ /lib64/systemd/*/ /usr/lib/systemd/ /usr/lib64/systemd/ /usr/include/ /usr/share/doc/ /usr/share/gtk-doc/ /usr/share/info/ /usr/share/aclocal/ /usr/share/man/man3/ /usr/share/man/ja/ /usr/lib64/cmake/ /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ /usr/lib64/debug/ /usr/lib/debug/ /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/" Contents of /etc/portage/env/dev-db/mariadb-connector-c.conf INSTALL_MASK="${INSTALL_MASK} /usr/bin/ /usr/share/doc/"
It should work if you remove the trailing slashes, because this code doesn't handle trailing slashes: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/commit/?id=3416876c0ee7301ab7434e3d9928ab7629a784ef

It's annoying though that trailing slashes for directories are no more supported. Trailing slashes allow visually showing an entry as being a directory and would preferably only apply if match is a directory (but fail/complain if something else was encountered - symlinks to be handled based on their target).

I've posted a patch that implements the directory-only match: https://github.com/gentoo/portage/pull/328 https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage-dev/message/1cffa323301be8ef9d100dd1424096ce
