"IT changes"?? I'm at a loss here. You mean that YOU keep telling it
to change? <wink> I think that you missed Daniel Robbins point:
>>>
I'd recommend that people who don't want to have the latest and greatest
versions of everything (and everything that goes with it), don't use
--update with emerge. <<<
When you get it how you like it -- stop. Don't "emerge --update"; don't
"emerge" new stuff. You've got what you want -- why change it? ;-)
Well, at least make a backup at your "I like it" point.
