Hmmmm, yeaaaaaahhh, I don't think so, he's a newbie I once switched a host from unstable to stable and I sweated blood and bricks to do it. IIRC correctly it involved a whole lot of manual package masking, and that took a whole lot of grep sed and awking emerge output. It was horrible. It would have been easier to reinstall. But, being a pigheaded Gentooist, I just had to try! What he could do is switch ACCEPT_KEYWORDS then not do much updates for 6 months and let stable catch up to unstable. Not ideal from a security update POV, but better than nothing -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
