OK, I lied: # genlop kmail * kde-base/kmail Sat Dec 18 16:46:54 2010 >>> kde-base/kmail-4.4.7 Fri Jan 14 11:41:39 2011 >>> kde-base/kmail-4.4.8 Sat Jan 29 10:51:11 2011 >>> kde-base/kmail-4.4.9 Wed May 11 16:02:50 2011 >>> kde-base/kmail-4.4.11.1 although you could argue from Jan 11 to May 11 is close to six months. The= =20 more mature kde4 becomes the fewer updates we should see. Ah!

Most people do the same (unmasking stuff) typically to sort out driver=20 problems, but not necessarily go the full ~arch way. I unmask particular packages when I need to and then leave them well alone= =20 until portage catches up with those versions. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart2797545.XTKI53HB6J Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk3rq3wACgkQVTDTR3kpaLbQNgCfcZrZrY8d1aQxQsjHgrA+xffB j7AAniM9TJaEKGgM5yH6DZwdTDifuQgm =vjQ4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2797545.XTKI53HB6J--
