Code: | # emerge -a firefox
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "firefox" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- www-client/firefox-13.0::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> (15 Jul 2012)
# Replaced by the new 4.8.4 release of kde-base/konqueror.
# Removal in 30 days.
- www-client/firefox-13.0 ::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) |
Amazing! Firefox will soon be out of gentoo. I hope this is a joke!
In fact, this doesn't look to be a joke, even if the real message is the following:
Code: | # emerge -a transset-df
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "transset-df" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-misc/transset-df-6::x-test (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> (25 Jun 2012)
# Replaced by the new 1.0.0 release of x11-apps/transset.
# Removal in 30 days.
- x11-misc/transset-df-6::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) |
I copied the ebuild over my personal test overlay. Just in case this is not a joke!

Looking at
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/transset/
it appears that it is a rationalisation of code on Freedesktop

No, no, no. That's just a typo that ssuominen made. In fact, deep laid plans are under way by the Gentoo developers to standardize on Internet Explorer.

According to the commit history the -df code has been merged into transset, so maybe you should verify that before filing reports. |

For me, as user, the reference is the doc of both software. The man page of transset, as we can see this is the last 1.0.0 version:
Code: | TRANSSET(1) TRANSSET(1)
NAME
transset - Set transparency on a window
SYNOPSIS
transset [-d display] n
DESCRIPTION
transset is a simple program for X servers supporting the XFIXES, DAM‐
AGE, and COMPOSITE extensions. It lets the user set the transparency
on a window.
OPTIONS
n Where n is a number from 0 to 1, zero being transparent and 1
being opaque
BUGS
Probably. Please report any you find to https://bugs.freedesk‐
top.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg.
AUTHORS
Matthew Hawn
X Version 11 transset 1.0.0 TRANSSET(1) |
The help of transset-df:
Code: | : transset-df --help
usage: transset-df [-options ...] [opacity]
options:
-h, --help display this message
-t, --toggle force toggle of opacity
-c, --click select by clicking on window (default)
-p, --point select the window currently under the cursor
-a, --actual select the actual window
-n, --name NAME select by name, NAME is matched as regular expression
--no-regex don't use regular expression for matching name
-i, --id select by window id
--inc increase by the given opacity
--dec decrease by given opacity
-m, --min OPACITY minimum possible opacity (default = 0)
-x, --max OPACITY maximum possible opacity (default = 1)
-v, --verbose print some debug info
-V, --version print version number |
And yes, you are right, if I run the following and non documented transset command:
Code: | transset --help
usage: transset [-options ...] [opacity]
options:
-h, --help display this message
-t, --toggle force toggle of opacity
-c, --click select by clicking on window (default)
-p, --point select the window currently under the cursor
-a, --actual select the actual window
-n, --name NAME select by name, NAME is matched as regular expression
--no-regex don't use regular expression for matching name
-i, --id select by window id
--inc increase by the given opacity
--dec decrease by given opacity
-m, --min OPACITY minimum possible opacity (default = 0)
-x, --max OPACITY maximum possible opacity (default = 1)
-v, --verbose print some debug info
-V, --version print version number

I didn't try it before, because it is not documented into the man page. So, I will change this bug into a man page issue. _________________ "Confirm You are a robot." - the singularity |

John .. those developers that survived the recent back-to-the-future coup have infact about-faced and are fully behind Generalisimo Larry in the promotion of Mosaic :)
