 |

This is a very simple but useful tip for those of you who occasionally want to play around with unstable/masked ebuilds. Instead of editing make.conf or having to write 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"' before each emerge put this into your .profile:
| Code: | | alias unstable='ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"' |
(assuming your arch is x86).
By doing this you just have to write
| Code: | | unstable emerge <ebuild> |
to emerge a masked ebuild.
Have fun. |

That's a pretty nice alias. 
BTW, I found a script I found very useful in the italian section, I edited a little though. Credits to whoever wrote it..
What it does: Unmask the ebuilds you want, useful for not getting downgrades every time you try to "-u world". The -U flag doesn't work too good for me.
| Code: |
/usr/sbin/unmask:
#!/bin/bash
for i in $( cat /root/unmasked_packages ); do
if [ -e "/usr/portage/$i.ebuild" ]
then
sed '/KEYWORDS/s/~x86/x86/g' /usr/portage/$i.ebuild > /usr/portage/$i.temp
mv /usr/portage/$i.temp /usr/portage/$i.ebuild
echo $i.ebuild UNMASKED
else
echo "error: /usr/portage/$i.ebuild does not exist"
fi
done
|
| Code: |
/root/unmasked_packages:
media-libs/fontconfig/fontconfig-2.1-r1
x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.3.0-r1
.. and so on.
|
Usage... :p
| Code: |
emerge sync && unmask && emerge -up world (--deep)
