[gentoo-dev] mozilla-1.0-r3

[MAL]

Can anyone tell me why 'emerge -p -u world' wants to /upgrade/ mozilla-1.0-r3 to mozilla-1.0-r2 ?

Cheers,

MAL

1.0-r3 was causing problems for a lot of people so it has been masked out, 
if it works OK for you don't go back to -r2, however we felt it was safest 
to move the majority of users back due to some install problems.

Thanks... but do you know how I can flag an 'update' to not update when I do "emerge -u world" ?

Cos U don't want to manually work around mozilla until it's updated again.

Regards,

MAL

Remove it from /var/cache/edb/world.

Or you could remove mozilla-1.0-r3 from /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask 
which would tell portage that you want to keep using that version and not 
to change.

Doesn't package.mask get replaced on each "emerge --clean rsync" ?
And wouldn't removing mozilla from /var/cache/edb/world mean that I won't get any /future/ updates, (ie. -r4)

Please, tell me if i'm wrong.

These seem to be get-arounds rather than designed solutions. Surely there's a way to flag that you don't want a particular update, recorded on your own pc, not in an every-changing portage tree.  A local package mask file?

Thanks for the info tho ppl,

Just inject the ebuild.

Perfect, looks like gentoo users need to be better educated on the portage system ;)

Thanks all,

Does anyone know whether it is possible to "copy" / "rename" a package's data 
such as to pretend an older version is a newer version but disturb the system 
less than with a fake ebuild. (Or am I mistaken about inject?)
