Maybe it's a weird subject title but this is what I mean:
| Code: |
root@BASSBOX emerge -up world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild UD] sys-devel/gcc-3.2.2 [3.2.2-r1]
[ebuild UD] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.1-r4 [2.3.2]
[ebuild U ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123-r2 [1.0.4191-r2]
[ebuild UD] x11-base/xfree-4.2.1-r2 [4.3.0]
[ebuild UD] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.3123 [1.0.4191-r1]
[ebuild UD] app-cdr/k3b-0.7.5 [0.8.1]

Why does emerge say that I need to Upgrade to nvidia-kernel version 1.0.3123-r2 while I have the newer version 1.0.4191-r2
I gues this has something to do with nivida not following the versioning layout used by many opensource projects. |

it's prolly because your installed nvidia-kernel is marqued as unstable.
you should have emerged it with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge nvidia-kernel.
now you are trying to emerge -u world, it wants to upgrade to last stable package

Yes I did set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" to be able to emerge the latest nvidia-kernel (my videocard doesn't work with nvidia 1.0.3123)
But I still think it's weird that emerge wants to Upgrade to an OLDER version. |

it's ok , since it wants to upgrade to stable version, if you want to update to testing version , you can set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in /etc/make.conf

remember portage is case sensitive.
is different than
using the uppercase U forces an upgrade only and umpiles update, which is what he lowercase u does.
