Sorry for the delay. I recently used it to move a machine from testing to stable. The one caveat is that sometimes the testing version your have installed, and in package.accept_keywords, is removed from the tree so portage wants to downgrade to the latest stable version. You have the choice of letting this happen or unmasking a later testing version. --=20 Neil Bothwick If at first you don't succeed, you'll get a lot of free advice from folks who didn't succeed either. --Sig_/B=MfPIVpqeRyVBYzJ25LOv+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlK02/gACgkQum4al0N1GQNwTACdH2rmuaZT8iRxY9iif2D12ekq kb4An3MnmW54PSsLJjIvETUSRr5QeFGc =yi2Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/B=MfPIVpqeRyVBYzJ25LOv+--
