Re: [gentoo-user] Exluding some apps from emerge --update world

["Hieu, Luu Danh" <ipridian@gmail.com>]

-r1, -r2, -r3 are also usually fixes to the ebuild itself. For
example, one -r5 ebuild had the Xorg modular deps included in it,
while the -r4 did not. So it also affects your own system and how it
interacts with portage.
I suggest you use -l flag with emerge, or head/cat the Changelog
inside the ebuild which is asked to upgrade to -rX and see if it is
important or not before thinking of masking all the -rX updates.
