Darn. It does when using "=". I've always thought it didn't. > Whether it is a good idea is a different question. Yes, it is a good idea. Sometimes I want to install a specific version, whether masked or not, and after that go back to tracking stable. Now I don't have to keep watching the package and remove it from package.keywords when it becomes stable. > This particular feature is covered in part 3, chapter 3. And looking in CVS it was there already in 2004. I must have misread it then, or done something wrong, which made me assume "=" didn't work in package.keywords. > It's also covered in `man portage`. But there it doesn't say anything about = in the package.keywords section. It could use an extra example there. Now off to some editing in /etc/portage/. Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
