 |
|
Hello to all members!
I have been using calculate linux,based on gentoo.
I have problem with firefox,I want to keep version 38.6.0,but when I masked a package,I keep getting old versions in emerge process.
Tried to exclude firefox from world,but maybe I made some mistake.
Please help.
Thank you very much for your effort. |

| Why do you want to use 38.6.0? There is a 38.6.1 security release that should otherwise work the same as 38.6.0. |

Moved from Portage & Programming to Unsupported Software.
To avoid Gentoo users being mislead if a solution developed here does not work in Gentoo.

you can get it from archive or if you have it install in your system you can regrab the ebuild from /var/db/pkg/pkg-cat/pkg-name-version where the ebuild is kept.
and move it to your own repo |

There is one thing that I dont understand. Package 38.6.1 is stable,but it's masked. Why ? I installed 38.6 because 38.6.1 has been masked. |

RIA77 ... how can we possibly tell you, we don't use Calculate Linux, it is they who are providing you with ebuilds, keywording, etc ... ask them.
