Re: [gentoo-user] How to lock an ebuild version?

 Yes, I was a little bit unprecise. Now I copied the tree and
 masked newer versions.
If you will have only one version of the ebuild, and never upgrade it, why not 
use the --oneshot switch. Then it will not be added to world and will not be 
considered for up or downgrading.

It depends on many other ebuilds. I don't want to keep it for 
ever, but I have to reconfigure other hosts in our network for 
the new version. That won't be done this year

[gentoo-user] How to lock an ebuild version?

2003-11-05 Thread Kai Lindenberg
Hi,

how can I keep a specific version of an ebuild on my system? I 
don't want it to be updated with emerge -puvUD world.

Will that keep an emerge sync from deleting the physical *.ebuild files?  I
have a feeling one might want to keep those around and not have the rsync
process wipe it out.

Well, wherever you set your portdir_overlay directory, just cp that ebuild WITH 
directory style over to that directory. That will keep the ebuild you want in case its 
deleted from portage..

Its very important you copy the categories and so forth are copied with to make sure 
it works right..

create /usr/local/portage, use the same directory structure as /usr/portage
(i.e. 
/usr/local/portage/sys-kernel).  Copy the e-builds that you want to keep
there.

Next, edit make.conf, looking for the line PORTDIR_OVERLAY (I think) and
adjust
it to suit your needs.
