I have a dilemma. and I don;t know gentoo well enough to solve it on my own.
I don't want to perform compiles _every_ single day/week to catch up with x86. Doing emerge -uDv world is great at first but gets a bit tiring in the end as one has to fix/figure out what bombed (if any.) There are also some packages which are _not_ being used (eg: squid/kdelibs) which I do not want it to be upgraded -at_all_ I read about using package.mask and thus I placed >=www-proxy/squid-2.5.7-r2 Doing that and doing an emerge -uDpv world, I see that instead of wanting to upgrade, it now wants to downgrade it. How do I tell it that I don't want it upgraded at all?? -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
