Online Package Database

Hi all

I have "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" in my package.keywords in order to have kernel 2.6.11-r4. Works just fine. However, when I lookup gentoo-sources in the online package database, it claims all 2.6.x releases were "M~":

http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstr ... oo-sources

How does that fit? Is the online list buggy? I didn't put gentoo-sources in package.unmask and I don't see how all 2.6.x releases of gentoo-sources could be masked in the first place.

What am I missing here?

Thx, -sven

I think that's a side effect of gentoo-dev-sources being renamend gentoo-sources. There are both 2.4 and 2.6 versions available through portage, which are unmasked depending on your profile. That means the online package database can't be "correct" because it doesn't know which profile you are using.
