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

Well, I guess that was exactly what I was looking for. Hmm, just thought ... what if the version I peg my system to is not considered significant, and is deleted from the portage tree? cheers Jonathan. > > Marius > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Not that, but you can mask versions in /etc/portage/package.mask, that is the equivalent to /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask. Marius -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Nailing a particular version locally
Hi, I was wondering, is there a way of nailing particular versions on my system(s), sort of like a local /etc/make.profile/packages, that won't get overwritten everytime I "emerge sync" ... I was guessing I could just copy /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4 somewhere and point /etc/make.profile at that, but then I'd have to update that manually. I guess I'm hoping there's some sort of overlay feature in portage for the _contents_ packages file. Cheers. Jonathan. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
