[solved] Is there a way to unmask package.use.mask

[ulenrich]

I want to play with USE=udisks2 for kdelibs on a systemd-189 system. The only way I found to enable this flag was to temporarily move package.use.mask away. But shouldn't there be an easier way, e.g.

/etc/portage/profiles/package.use.unmask or
/etc/portage/profile/package.use.unmask

Or is this not possible, or is this a portage bug?

echo "-USE_FLAG" >> /etc/portage/profile/use.mask is what you are looking for.
Its masked for a reason, keep this in mind if something breaks.

Thank You very much!

negative * negative = positiv
Also this is mathematically correct a simple user should not have to think negative and also
should not have to have to think like an akademic
