It's called PORTAGE_OVERLAY. Again, hard to do automatically. Wheras, if I could just set=20 ACCEPT_UPSTREAM=3D"BETA" I'd get all the betas. Or I could use=20 package.upstream and but in "kde-extra/kaffeine ALPHA" and get anything=20 assigned more than a snapshot number for that package. (Instead of=20 manually checking after each sync to see if there's a new, masked=20 version.) --=20 Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. bss03@volumehost.net ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
