Hi,

I have made modification to my package.mask. However, everytime I run a
emerge --sync, the package.mask got written over. It is very annoying as
I have to modify the file all the time. Any idea how to stop this from
happening?

Thanks
JC

Which file are you editing?

You should be editing /etc/portage/*

/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask

Hello! That's the one he has been editing up until now. It gets wiped
at every sync, hence he has to use /etc/portage/package.* instead!
