With latest portage (>2.0.48-r5 or something) you can use /etc/portage/packages.mask (you will have to create it). For Example, you could put net-www/apache-2.* there, if you want to keep apache1. Its not documented, and I don't know if it is stable but it works for me. Timo -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
