Thank you.

[Comment 2 Patrice Clement (RETIRED) 2015-11-06 12:13:38 UTC]

Please stabilise the following dependencies as well:

dev-perl/Test-NoTabs
dev-perl/Test-EOL
dev-perl/Parse-CPAN-Meta
dev-perl/Test-CPAN-Meta

Same arches and all that jazz. Cheers!

amd64 stable

[Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2015-11-08 06:22:01 UTC]

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "dev-perl/Parse-CPAN-Meta" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-perl/Parse-CPAN-Meta-1.441.700::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
/world/gentoo/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Patrice Clement <[e-mail]> (07 Nov 2015)
# Duplicate package since it already exists as virtual/perl-Parse-CPAN-meta.
# Masked for removal in 30 days.

[Comment 5 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2015-11-08 06:25:21 UTC]

This is why you specify atoms that include a specific version/revision I guess. And the package.mask entry broke the tree.

[Comment 6 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2015-11-09 04:48:12 UTC]

Stable for PPC64.

[Comment 7 Patrice Clement (RETIRED) 2015-11-11 10:35:51 UTC]

I masked dev-perl/Parse-CPAN-Meta and swapped this dependency for virtual/perl-Parse-CPAN-Meta. @ago: if you're seeing a package.mask warning about dev-perl/Parse-CPAN-Meta, ignore it. I didn't know there was a virtual for this package already in Portage. Sorry about the noise.

[Comment 8 Agostino Sarubbo 2015-11-12 10:26:14 UTC]

ppc stable

[Comment 9 Agostino Sarubbo 2015-11-12 10:27:37 UTC]

Maintainer(s), please cleanup.
