I run once per day an emerge sync to see which packages are update and I have two questions about it.
1.) Is it possible to do an emerge -u world and specifying some packages which shouldn't be downgraded? I know that I can use -U to upgrade only, but I wanted my emerge to stay with the "normal" versions. I have one package which I don't want to change though and when I would run emerge -u world, it would be downgraded. 2.) Why does the list sometimes include packages where there is an N in the status? I thought emerge only shows me packages we could be updated indicating this with an U and D. N means not installed? Or what exactly does it mean when it writes this? -- Gerhard Gruber Maintainer of SoftICE for Linux - http://pice.sourceforge.net/ Fast application launcher - http://sourceforge.net/projects/launchmenu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
