Hello, 

i have installed Libreoffice 4.1.0.2 and now is update to Version 4.1.0.4 
available.

Is there a way to stop these updates? i has try with portage.mask, but then
come a downgrade to Version 4.0.4.2. Its enough when update to bigger Updates
for example 4.2. Each update is not required for such a package.

Hope understand what i mean. :)


Thank you for help and good weekend. 


Silvio

You could mask any versions greater than >4.1.0.2 and lesser than <4.1.0.2 I 
guess, but instead you may want to give app-office/libreoffice-bin a spin 
which will save significant time when you need to update/downgrade this 
package.

ok, first make an overlay and copy the ebuild of the version you want to
pin there.

Than mask everything else.

You can find the ebuild in /var/db if it was removed from the tree already.

And yes, this ebuild removing sucks - because nobody needs every single LO
update...

I have now masked what you say, but the result is same, portage make
a downgrade. 

emerge -s libreoffice without mask:
*  app-office/libreoffice
      Latest version available: 4.1.0.4
      Latest version installed: 4.1.0.2

emerge -s libreoffice with mask:
*  app-office/libreoffice
      Latest version installed: 4.1.0.2

emerge -avuDN @world
[ebuild     UD ] app-office/libreoffice-l10n-4.0.4.2 [4.1.0.2]
[ebuild     UD ] dev-util/mdds-0.7.1:0/0 [0.8.1:0/0.8.1]
[ebuild     UD ] dev-libs/liborcus-0.3.0:0/0 [0.5.1:0/0.5]
[ebuild     UD ] app-office/libreoffice-4.0.4.2 [4.1.0.2]

Its really crazy. I have netbook and p4 desktop, i want not run
12 hours compile orgy for small upgrade which normal no one feel.

gentoomobile siefke # cat /etc/portage/package.mask 
>app-office/libreoffice-4.1.0.2
>app-office/libreoffice-l10n-4.1.0.2

when use the follow entry, is the same, downgrade. 
gentoomobile siefke # cat /etc/portage/package.mask 
>=app-office/libreoffice-4.1.0.2
>=app-office/libreoffice-l10n-4.1.0.2

Ideas? 

Thank you for help and nice weekend.
Silvio

ummm, the ebuild no longer exists after the last update ... you need to
restore it from the attic.

You want to keep 4.1.0.2 but you have masked 4.1.0.2, that is why it
wants to downgrade.

put this is package.mask;

>app-office/libreoffice-4.1.0.2
>app-office/libreoffice-l10n-4.1.0.2



If you still get an error, post the ENTIRE output, not bits of it. You
keep snipping out the parts that describe why portage is doing what it's
doing. We can't help you when you do that.

Correction:

[I] app-office/libreoffice
     Available versions:  4.0.4.2 **4.0.9999 (~)4.1.0.4 **4.1.9999 **9999-r2

You've masked 4.1.0.2, but there is not such version in portage.
4.1.0.4 is unstable, you run stable
portage is doing the only thing it can do to give you a working
libreoffice, which is emerge 4.0.4.2


Do this:

in /var/db/pkg you will find a copy of the ebuild for the current
*installed* version - 4.1.0.2.
Copy that to a local overlay and mask all versions smaller and greater
than that in package.mask.
Portage will then keep the current version but you MUST keep a copy of
the ebuild somewhere else
When you someday want to upgrade libreoffice, undo the maskings.

Yes, what you have above means "mask every version equal to and greater than
app-office/libreoffice-4.1.0.2; therefore, you have masked 4.1.0.2, so you
must downgrade. Rather, at the present time use: >=app-office/libreoffice-4.1.0.3

That will mask every version equal to or greater than 4.1.0.3

>app-office/libreoffice-4.1.0.3
>app-office/libreoffice-l10n-4.1.0.3
<app-office/libreoffice-4.1.0.2
<app-office/libreoffice-l10n-4.1.0.2

Now portage want nothing upgrade. Happy Gentoo User :)


Thank for help and nice weekend.
