For those of us who run mostly stable systems, there is one question I don’t know a good answer to.
If I add a specific version of a game to package.accept_keywords, I will get that version forever. That’s not really what I want: I prefer to stay up to date as new versions are packaged. If I add just a cat/pkg to p.a_k, Portage will always try to pull in the latest version. If that version has some unstable dependencies which I haven’t also accepted, Portage will yell at me. An example of this is games-emulation/mednafen-0.9.46 depending on dev-libs/lzo-2.10, the latter of which is unstable. What I really want to install is, “the latest version of the package that doesn’t pull in any deps that aren’t available (stable or accepted),” but I don’t know any way to tell Portage that. Am I missing something, or is that indeed impossible? -- Christopher Head
