Hi Arcady Please take a look at #1523 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1523 First part of it (for which I already provided some code) introduces ebuild stability levels. This can be used to do just what you want (and many more). Eventually I think we should shift to new ebuild processing model and the fact you come up with the suggestion similar to the first part of mine gives me at least some feedback :). Should I say I will appreciate more specific comments as well? ;) BTW, should this bug be marked as a duplicate of #1523? George added myself to CC stability levels sounds good to me .. hmm.. what about a MASK directory with extra files for each category? (maybe xml or just simple text) greetings Please add a "mask_overlay"/pinning mechanism then, including a tool to add, remove and get status reports of package masks too, to deal with it in a transparent way. I guess, I'm not the only one who misses a local overlay for the package mask file. I made a simple script for myself for this purpose, but adding the own lines every time after syncing to package.mask is not the way it should work. /etc/portage/package.mask /etc/portage/package.unmask ACCEPT_KEYWORDS |
