Can anyone tell me why mail-mta/netqmail-1.06 is hard masked?
I searched through both the buglist and the changelog and found no specific reason for it. The changelog only lists positive things about the differences between 1.05-r8 and 1.06, so I really have no idea why it should be hard masked... |

Thanks Chris, that helps a bit. 
I'd like to dig into this a bit deeper and see what's actually been changed. Is there any way to have portage download, unpack the source (and apply any patches for that ebuild) somewhere so that I could do a source diff between these two netqmail versions? |

bpoint,
read the handbook chapter about mixing software branches and unmask (both package.keywords and package.unmask) '=mail-mta/netqmail-1.0.6' . After that you could emerge the package as usual doing | Code: | | emerge =mail-mta/netqmail-1.0.6 |
If you want to have a look at the source including gentoo patches, do | Code: | | ebuild /usr/portage/mail-mta/netqmail/netqmail-1.0.6.ebuild unpack |
This will unpack the files to /var/tmp/portage/mail-mta/net-qmail-0.6/work/net-qmail-1.0.6/ and apply all gentoo patches.
The ebuild command lets you do exactly what the emerge command does, step by step. See for details. |
