Question : Need to Emerge a masked MySQL 4.1.7 on Gentoo Linux System...

I can't seem to unmask MySQL 4.1.7 on a Gentoo system.  When I run emerge, here's what I get:


root# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge '=dev-db/mysql-4.1.7'

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-db/mysql-4.1.7" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-db/mysql-4.1.7 (masked by: package.mask)
# (17 Nov 2004)
# Masking for testing

any ideas?

Look at /usr/portage/profiles.mask

It says (on my machine, synced today):

# (17 Nov 2004)
# Masking for testing
=dev-db/mysql-4.1*


If you really want to emerge it, remove that line (=dev.....)
