Description
Summary
The module has option for backtrack, but not for autounmask-backtrack.
--autounmask-backtrack < y | n > Allow backtracking after autounmask has detected that configuration changes are necessary. This option is not recommended, since it can cause a large amount of time to be wasted by backtracking calculations, even though there is no guarantee that it will produce a solution. This option is disabled by default.
Although the option is not recommended due to it possibly making emerge take longer, it makes sense in the case of automated emerge via Ansible, as it may make the emerge more likely to succeed in certain cases where backtracking is required, thus reducing the need for manual remediation.
