Why is ddrescue masked? I can find references to marking newer versions stable in the Changelog, but all versions are masked ~arch. And they were stable before

Code: Select all

emerge -p dd-rescue

Indeed I was talking about the gnu version, it is confusing...

Perhaps I should open a bug, no one seems to know why this is masked...

It's not masked here anymore. Did you sync your portage?
