[gentoo-user] preventing upgrade

[Allan Spagnol Comar]

Hi all, I am about to update my gentoo box and I do not want that the
mantisbt package be upgraded. I would like to do it with more
attention after I had upgrade my system.
I had put =www-apps/mantisbt-1.0.0 ~x86 on my package.keywords file
and it still wants to upgrade mantis to 1.0.1 version.
what else do I need to do to prevent the upgrade ?

Thanks, Allan

I tink that what you want to do is put >www-apps/mantisbt-1.0.0 in
/etc/portage/package.mask

put ">www-apps/mantisbt-1.0.0" in /etc/portage/package.mask

if I put > it will continue to try to upgrade instaled version 1.0.0
to 1.0.1 how can I maintain 1.0.0 instead of upgrading to 1.0.1 when I
do a emerge -pDu world. Sorry if I do not point myself cleared

You must understand WHAT IS the package.mask file first, read man
portage, check the section where it describes package.mask. You'll
notice that you don't need ~x86, because this keywords are not
applicable in this file, each line contains an application that should
be blocked from being emerged, that's all, if you add a >, < or =, you
specify if versions greater, lower or equal to the one you put in the
line should be masked too.

Sure you masked only that version, the upgraded version is not masked,
remove the ~x86 (useless in this file) and change the "=" sign for a
">", this way masking every package above the version too.

See, people already answered your question, I guess you were just a
little lost on HOW package.mask works.

Hope that helps,

what do you mean it will try to upgrade? if you put
>www-apps/mantisbt-1.0.0 in /etc/portage/package.mask, version 1.0.0
is the highest portage is allowed to install.

This might sound like a stupid question, but I have to ask it to make
sure.

You say you put ">" ... which file did you put it in? I ask because:

Here you mentioned the package.keywords file

> > > put ">www-apps/mantisbt-1.0.0" in /etc/portage/package.mask

while you should really have it in package.mask file as pointed out
here. I apologize in advance if I misunderstand you. 

Now, are you running a stable system? Because, if you only keyworded
the 1.0.0 version of mantisbt, according at least to 'man portage', I
don't think you should be seeing the upgrade from emerge -pu world.
