|
|
Hi all,
I want to "emerge -uDv world" my system, but i don't want to update one of the packages that is scheduled for an update. How can i exclude just that one package and still upgrade the rest in one shot?
Thanks all! _________________ Gentoo Unanswered Questions- Give it a try! |

Mask the package.
Excerpted from man 5 portage, the file described is placed in /etc/portage: Quote: | package.mask
A list of package atoms to mask. Useful if specific versions of packages do not work well for you. For example, you swear by the Nvidia drivers, but only versions earlier than 1.0.4496. No problem!
Format:
- comments begin with # - one DEPEND atom per line
Example:
# mask out versions 1.0.4496 of the nvidia # drivers and later >=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496 >=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.4496 |
