Now I'd like to have my system not ask me to ever upgrade it again until the newer version is required as a dependency of some other program. I thought that putting "=media-tv/ivtv-0.9.0" (where 0.9.0 is my current version) in /etc/portage/package.mask would be the solution, but when I "emerge ivtv -pv" it wants to upgrade to "0.9.1". I commented out the line in package.keywords thinking maybe if it was already installed and masked that portage would ignore it. The result of this was portage wanted to downgrade to the more 'stable' 0.8.x - which is also not the desired result. Is there a way to not upgrade to 0.9.1 without emerge'ing ivtv with the '-1' option or using package.provided (as it seems to circumvent portage's dependency checking)? Thanks. -- Travis -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
