Yes, that's still a problem. I myself for example have a dozen of containers w/ Gentoo, and I'm still trying to figure out how to control which packages should be updated fully automatically, w/o triggering updates of others that I want to approve explicitly. Once I've ported a buch of more packages to sysroot'ed builds, I'll migrate to Briegel[1]-built images. cu [1] https://sourceforge.net/p/briegel/ -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
