Hello!

I really need to emerge masked packages - and I don't understand why I
cannot find a manual override switch or something for it.

Believe me, I've been searching for it!

I emerged xmms (my favorite jukebox) and I'm using KDE. But I cannot get a
sound out of it without the xmms-arts package - but this one is masked!

So what should I do?
I've tried all the other output plugins, none would work.

Can anyone help?
A.

have a look at /usr/portage/packages.mask

you'll find something like

# <danarmak@gentoo.org> (06 Apr 2003)
# permamasked and will be removed from portage at some point since
unmaintained$
media-plugins/xmms-arts

if you change the last line from above to

# media-plugins/xmms-arts

you'll be able to emerge this package.

if you want to emerge only one masked package, you can give the full
path to the package:

emerge media-sound/xmms/xmms-1.2.7-r22.ebuild

Hi,

This is my first post, so it might not get through.

What i do to emerge masked packages:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xmms-arts -v

Now this works, but I don't know why.

I think this should be the correct solution:
export ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" ; emerge xmms-arts -v

Just do

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge package you want

or give the path to the package.

This way it worked!

Thanx very much!

Only works with unstable packages that are available for testing. You can
also edit the /etc/make.conf file and add the line

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

there.

But this doesn't work with masked packages.
unstable != masked...

Thanks anyway,
A.
