 |
|
Hi
I use nvidias drivers and want to use version 1.0.5336-r2.
To achive this I added the following to /etc/portage/package.mask
| Code: |
<media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.5336-r2
<media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.5336-r2
|
When I try to emerge nvidia-kernel it does the right thing but nvidia-glx wants to downgrade to version 1.0.4496.
Why is this?
/Martin

try
| Code: | | emerge /usr/portage/medi-video/nvidia-glx/nvidia-glx-1.0.5336-r2.ebuild |
and look if it will install |

Yea that would work, but that would leave me with my problem, running emerge -uDpv world will downgrade again, and I'm not keen on using -U (don't ask me why)

If you're on stable there is no need to use package.mask. Setting up package.keywords should be enough. | Code: | echo "media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
Use versioning as you find appropriate.

Aha!
Found the problem, I thought I had the correct entries in /etc/portage/package.keywords but instead of ~x86 I had !x86...
Thanks!
