The problems as I get them, are: - Injecting the sources, would work, but it would require reinjecting every newer version, or else an "emerge -u" would upgrade the version for us, w= hen for example upgrading a package that depends on the sources. - Injecting a sufficiently big, non-existing version would not work, becaus= e an emerge -u (even -U) would downgrade the version to the highest available, i.e. it would install a version. =20 It seems that having a dummy-sources whose version does not change would so= lve this problem. --=20 \ Georgi Georgiev \ IBM's original motto: Cogito ergo vendo; \ / chutz@gg3.net / vendo ergo sum. / \ +81(90)6266-1163 \ \ --y0ulUmNC+osPPQO6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/IgTofXO2NUT1EmYRAuCXAKDuKynrmKBJpPgT6uvpvjwkKqxsvwCg9fqe zi9Um92mJEPl9/T57V2xKQQ= =OBsM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --y0ulUmNC+osPPQO6--
