 |
|
So. last time I tried I couldn't mask packages on my own overlay without the mask also being applied to all other overlays. Appending ::<overlay> did not do it.
So the question goes: Is it possible?
If not, what's the proper way other than removing the ebuilds entirely? Keywording with -* does feel dirty.

| As I understand it, masking with ::overlay is the correct way to do it. When you tried it, what exactly did you put in package.mask? What command did you give to Portage? What did Portage do in response? |

Zucca ... works here:
| Code: | % for i (${$(eix --print PORTDIR_OVERLAY):t}) grep $i /etc/portage/package.mask/*
/etc/portage/package.mask/overlay.mask:*/*::foo-overlay
/etc/portage/package.mask/overlay.mask:*/*::mv
/etc/portage/package.mask/overlay.mask:*/*::octopus
/etc/portage/package.mask/overlay.mask:*/*::weuxel |
Ignoring the fact that these are wildcard category/package, the mask has no effect on other overlays.
best ... khay |

I think zucca means package.mask from /path/of/your/overlay/profile/package.mask, in this case adding overlay name isn't accepted.

But in this case the mask only applies to your overlay, automatically. |

You right, thanks never used package.mask in a overlay. Then I don't know what zucca means

I think this is why it didn't work before.
Last time i tried the package.mask on my overlay caused packages also from other overlays to be masked. I have no clue how I did it back then. Now I have the need also, but it seems to work as expected. Strange...
