Hi,

I use some masked packages because I need to stay up to date with some of them ...

if I do a
Code:
emerge -up world
it shows me that portage will downgrade my masked packages to unmasked ones.

Is there a cheap way to prevent portage from downgrading newer/masked packages and to update older packages further more?

use a capital U instead (i.e. emerge -Up world) this changes the U to upgrade only and doesnt downgrade anything.
