[gentoo-user] howto install a precise version of a software?

[Rakotomandimby (R12y) Mihamina]

Hi,

I would like to install an exact ebuild of zope:
http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?zope-2.8.8

What chapter of the documentation is related to that, please?
I dont even now what's the name of the practice.

Thank you.

The format is:

emerge =category-name/package-name-version

For instance, to emerge Zope 2.8.8, type

emerge =net-zope/zope-2.8.8

Replying to myself, I know, but...

if you want to keep portage from trying to install a newer version when you
do a world update, add >=net-zope/zope-2.93 to /etc/portage/package.mask
(although packages higher than 2.8.8 are currently marked as ~x86, so it
isn't necessary at the moment)

I see mark has answered your question, but I'd add a quick note: to find the "full name" of a package eg. net-zope/zope do emerge -s packagename which will then tell you the category and the package name. I can rarely remember which category packages are in and usually have to check when I want to emerge a specific version.
