# When you add an entry to the top of this file, add your name, the date
# in the UTC timezone with a format of YYYY-MM-DD, and an explanation of why
# something is getting masked.
# Please be extremely careful not to commit atoms that are not valid, as it can
# cause large-scale breakage, especially if it ends up in the daily snapshot.
#
## Example:
##
## # Dev E. Loper <developer@gentoo.org> (2019-07-01)
## # Masking  these versions until we can get the
## # v4l stuff to work properly again

#
# - Best last rites (removal) practices -
# Include the following info:
# a) reason for masking
# b) date of removal
# c) bug # for the removal (and yes you should have one)
#
# See GLEP 84 for the full description of the format.

## Example:
##
## # Dev E. Loper <developer@gentoo.org> (2019-07-01)
## # Doesn't work with new libfoo. Upstream dead, gtk-1, smells funny.
## # Removal on 2019-08-01. Bug #987654.

# Masked for testing the new .0 version and leave time for packages
# to catch up on support. Will likely be kept masked until 6.12.1
# is released unless there is a notable reason to need this earlier.
#
# If wanted, feel welcome to add `dev-qt/*:6/6.12.0` to package.unmask
# and report issues.
#
# Note: qtwebengine was "split" from Qt's main packaging and is now
# versioned as 6.<chromium-major>.<patch> (6.140.0 here), for now it is
# included in this mask (unmask with dev-qt/qtwebengine:6/6.140.0), but
# in the future it will be treated separately given it is not pinned and
# e.g. 6.140.0 can be used with Qt 6.11.x (aka not just 6.12.x).
#
# !!! ... however, 6.140.0 was not released yet, if you need qtwebengine
#     either do not unmask this or use qtwebengine-6.140.9999 for now.

# This suite of packages is currently best placed in an overlay/external
# repository where users can more easily contribute. The ecosystem moves
# quickly and users expect even the live ebuilds to be updated apace.
#
# The rate of change as well as new packages requiring review places a heavy
# combined with users (not unreasonably) wanting fresh versions of the software
# places strain on the proxy-maint team. Pressure being put on proxied maintainers
# to create and quickly have PRs merged doesn't facilitate the level of
# testing for ::gentoo either.
#
# An unofficial 'hyproverlay' repository has been created at
#  https://codeberg.org/hyproverlay/hyproverlay.git
# for communal maintenance of these packages as well as several new
# (unpackaged in ::gentoo) dependencies. It can be enabled with:
#  $ emerge -an app-eselect/eselect-repository
#  $ eselect repository enable hyproverlay
#  $ emerge --sync
# See also https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hyprland#Emerge
#
# Quite out-of-date, many open bugs, and needs several new dependencies.
# Removal on 2026-03-11.
