I am able to do a world update using " emerge --world update" using --pretend gives me a nice list of things that need updating. Since this is an older portage the /var/cache/edb/world file is not there. I am trying to find the file my version of protage is using to determine what is installed in the system. I want to lock a few packages at the version they are at and install the rest. How can I do this with 1.8.8, without going to 1.8.9, problem with upgrading portage first is that it will not create a world file based on what I have installed prior to going to 1.8.9.

I did: pkglist >/var/cache/edb/world but still get nothing to upgrade. BTW the portage guide is still inconsistent regarding whether world or update gets the '--' !!!! -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ian Smith ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ gentoo-user mailing list gentoo-user@gentoo.org http://lists.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-user _______________________________________________ gentoo-user mailing list gentoo-user@gentoo.org http://lists.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-user
