either pin the files in your world file or mask versions you dont want upgraded in /etc/portage/package.mask This is a duplicate of Bug 16342 However, the original post neglects to mention my scenario. The resolution posted for Bug 16342 also does not solve my solution and is merely a workaround. I think many basic binaries include sometime of "--exclude" option. (ie. fgrep) On a side note, this would probably be called a "feature of a feature". Allot of us install "masked" packages and a "emerge -UDp world" may fail becuase a masked package is installed and conflicts. Maybe "--exclude" could also be incorporated to ignore the package. ...or maybe this "feature of this feature" should be called "--ignore".. well, getting OT here. i think my comment #1 and Bug 16342 address everything mentioned here *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16342 *** *** Bug 31563 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** yup. ditto. i would prefer a command line option "--exclude" also. |
