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, when
for example upgrading a package that depends on the sources.
- Injecting a sufficiently big, non-existing version would not work, because an
emerge -u (even -U) would downgrade the version to the highest available,
i.e. it would install a version.
It seems that having a dummy-sources whose version does not change would solve
this problem.
