Hi guys,
while I have selected to enable unstable packages for this computer, putting in make.conf
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64"
I would like to obtain stable packages ONLY for some applications.

How to do that?

regards

Off the top of my head I would use /etc/portage/package.keywords, and instead of unmasking packages there, add the stable keyword. For example:
Code:
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources amd64


I've never tried it, but it seems like it should work. On my systems I prefer to keep everything stable, and unmask packages as necessary... so basically the opposite of what you want to do.

Did you also disable accepting the unstable keyword for your architecture for that package?
