Layman will still update all its overlays when you run layman -S, but portage will not see the contents. I've used this method often when I want a single package from an overlay. You may have to link more than one package to satisfy dependencies, but that is not usually the case in my experience. -- Neil Bothwick Where do you think you're going today? pgpNWlsu4j_Dd.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Sorry for being dense. Do you mean first add the overlay with 'layman -a bar', then symlink the particular package to my local overlay? How will I be updating this package in the future, if I do not have the 'bar' overlay settings in /etc/portage/repos.conf/layman.conf? I'm trying to understand the benefit of doing it as you suggest above ... :-/ -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Thank you Johannes, I removed package.provided and added '=x11- wm/enlightenment-:0.17' in package.mask. Now it wants to install: x11-wm/enlightenment-0.21.3:0.17/0.21::bar so I added that version in package.mask too and it now is emerging entrance. :-) -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Another option is to copy/symlink the specific package you want from the bar overlay to your local overlay and do not include the bar overlay in repos.conf. -- Neil Bothwick Change is inevitable.

What is the correct syntax to block > this version of enlightenment from emerging? > According to the portage manpage 'x11-wm/enlightenment-' should be the correct syntax. But I think, package.provided is the wrong file at all. The correct way to accomplish what you want to is masking 'x11-wm/enlightenment-:0.17/::bar'. The problem with this package is that it is keyworded incorrectly as '~amd64 ~x86' despite being a live ebuild. If you already have enlightenment:0.17 installed this should suffice, since entrance only depends on this and not the live ebuild.

[gentoo-user] package.provided syntax
I'm currently trying to get thru an emerge -vuD world but having various things crop up. Some I thought were handled long ago like this overlooking what is in package.provided: rsnapshot-1.2.2 bacula-1.48.5 cvs-emacs-24 The last two are fake versions so they would stay ahead of what ever comes into portage for a while. My understanding is that portage looks here, and if the version is newer it by passes these packages.
