I just ran an emerge world -u and at the beginning there were some
errors/warnings about my lines in
/etc/portage/profile/package.provided
I didn't save the error but it indicate my file would be ignored.
It contained
dev-util/cvs
app-editors/emacs-cvs
I didn't want the emerge to mess with emacs. I build my own for yrs
now. However rather than investigate and fix, I just commented the
line out and proceeded.
Emerge installed the latest emacs and even overwrote my .emacs-custom
file. (Which seems it should not have, if it found one)
But what I want here now is to know how to handle this in the future.
That is, how to tell emerge that I want certain packages ignored or
left to me.
Last time around those lines in package.provided were sufficient but
apparantly something has changed.
