Not that, but you can mask versions in /etc/portage/package.mask, that is the equivalent to /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask. 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.

The ebuild is always stored in /var/db/pkg, so you can get it from there.. and, if you only want a certain version and don't want to upgrade in the future... perhaps emerge --oneshot thingie will be applyable? //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!

Hi Jonathan, Nachricht vom Mittwoch, 30.

I guess I'm hoping there's some sort of overlay feature in portage for the _contents_ packages file. Cheers. Jonathan. 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
