Nicely phrased, your complaint is that having ran unstable keywords,=20 it's moving too fast for your taste. Stable keywords seem like an=20 obvious solution to it. One thing that is less obvious is that there are essentially two=20 flavors of unstable chromium- dev and beta. Currently beta is 17.*,=20 dev is 16.*. If you don't want bleeding edge, but want faster than=20 stable, pmask 17.*. That said... you're complaining that having ran unstable, you're=20 having to rebuild too much. Stable exists for a reason. Either way, I suggest folks flip through the changelog- not seeing=20 anything egregious in bumping, refactoring appears to go out during=20 upstream version bumps. For the cups rebuild referenced above is a build compilation failure=20 that was rolled out in existing versions (or in version bumps). It=20 may be an annoyance to Tommy that emerge -N picked it up, but for=20 folks hitting the build failure, they obviously view it a bit=20 differently (as evidenced by a fair amount of bitching on the bug in=20 question). If you really, really want to keep running bleeding edge, rebuilding=20 for every change that occurs on it but selectively slowing down=20 certain builds... well, patch portage and mangle the existing vcs=20 rebuild code to be usable for other packages, adding a feature along=20 the lines of "I want to run bleeding edge X, but rebuild it only=20 weekly". Barring that, the solutions for your user configuration problem are=20 above. ~harring --FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk68660ACgkQsiLx3HvNzge3dQCfeF/3qTWtU7622Vh84J/FODUA wjEAoK9gnZeo7dlUwkrZWnDHR9ShyT46 =/a95 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5--
