# --------------------( SYNTAX                             )--------------------
# Syntax for this file is rather non-intuitive. For example:
#
#   # Mask all pre-2.1 versions of Links.
#   >www-client/links-2.1_pre28-r1
#
#   # Mask all 1.37 versions of Boost.
#   dev-libs/boost:1.37  
#
# Note, in particular, that the syntax for masking via a greater than operator
# bears no resemblance to the syntax for masking via an equals operator, and
# that the latter operator seems to actually be less expressive. The equals
# operator, ':', does not accept minor revision numbers, unlike the greater than
# operator, '>', which does. This is quite strange, but there it is.

# ....................{ PACKAGES                           }....................
# Mask all overlays and versions of the following packages.

# "app-admin/eselect" now subsumes this package.
#app-admin/eselect-news

# ....................{ OVERLAYS                           }....................
# Prefer the portage-extras version of "portage-utils" to the default.
#app-portage/portage-utils::gentoo

# ....................{ VERSIONS                           }....................
# Mask all pre-2.1 versions of Links. (It's probably the post-2.5.35 version of
# flex, which Links depends on, which needs masking. However, for the moment,
# this works rather well.)
#>www-client/links-2.1_pre28-r1

# Mask all 1.37 versions of Boost. v1.37.0 (r1) is currently broken for PPC and
# ARM architectures. (We would rather just mask that particular version, of
# course, but Paludis does not appear to support that syntax. See "SYNTAX,"
# above.)
#dev-libs/boost:1.37

# Mask all Subversion-hosted (i.e., 9999) versions of Scribus.
#app-office/scribus:9999
