Description:   Opened: 2002-12-13 01:36 0000 
I'm using a mix of stable, unstable, masked and, of course, unmasked packages. 
This results in not being able to construct a emerge statement giving me only those 
packages who has been installed and a more recent version is available. I have to 
check the output of emerge -up world by hand to select the right packages. The 
recent addition of the actual installed version helps a lot in this (thanks for that). I 
suggest adding a new option (--onlynewer) that forces emerge to skip older versions. 
Maybe it would even be better to change --update to do the same thing. The text of 
the manual suggests this behaviour of --update.

This patch adds a '--nodowngrade' or '-g' option to emerge.

geep root # emerge -up world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    UD] app-text/xpdf-2.01 [2.01-r1]
[ebuild    U ] net-www/links-2.1_pre6 [2.1_pre3]



geep root # emerge -up --nodowngrade world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    U ] net-www/links-2.1_pre6 [2.1_pre3]

patch works great here, comes in very handy :)

I'd prefer the parameter was called 'maintain' with a short switch of -m if
this was to be done.

Cool, that was what i was looking for, but how do I add the patch?

------- Comment #6 From Bartosch Pixa 2003-02-03 03:54:06 0000 ------- 
what about updates to SLOTed packages ?

------- Comment #7 From J Robert Ray 2003-02-03 04:50:54 0000 ------- 
Upgrades to SLOTed packages are not disabled by this flag, although they still
appear as 'D'.

------- Comment #8 From Scott Richey 2003-02-03 10:22:55 0000 ------- 
This patch is great, just what I've been looking for! I think this needs to be
in the official version.

does a make.conf option for that exist ? (i.e. to make it never downgrade)
