 I like to use meld to copy file but meld does now preserve ownership of

 file that are newer then certain date ?
 
 I was trying to use:
 find /home/myuser/oldir/* -mtime -60 -exec cp {} /home/myuser/newdir/ \;
 
 but cp does not preserve file ownership either.
 
 I was planning on copying hylafax-files (faxes) from one server to another
 and most of those files have ownership uucp:60002 or uucp:uucp
 

From man cp:
...

   -p same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps

   --preserve[=ATTR_LIST]
  preserve the specified attributes (default: mode,ownership,
  timestamps), if possible additional attributes: context, 
  links, xattr, all


Might I suggest a pattern here? ;-)

 What I want is to be able to pin a specific package to the

 version, so it doesn't get updated during an emerge world...

Wouldn't it mostly work if you 
a] Copied the package ebuild directory to a local overlay to ensure 
the version keeps being available to portage even if it vanishes from 
the official tree and
b] masked any later version in, say, /etc/portage/package.mask/pinned

( and c] mentally prepared to repeat the procedure when the tree no 
longer provides compatible dependencies )

 Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

 
 did you search bugs.gentoo.org? Lots of llvm stuff there 

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500032#c9 
looks like a good fit.

 Thanks

I went from mariadb-5.5.38-r1 to 10.0.12 here on Aug 5 and didn't manage 
to break anything, even akonadi-server.
There shouldn't be anythong a revdep-rebuild won't handle.
