As in the summary. EX: If I have " USE="major-version-only" " and a program at version 2.4.20, emerge will not update my program unless a new major version (ex 2.5.x) has been relased. Hope will help. ByEZz, Paolo Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
who is to say an upstream doesnt use A for major releases (in A.B.C format) instead of B ? or even C ? for instance, perl went from 5.6 to 5.8 and that was major openssl went from 0.9.6 to 0.9.7 and that was major gcc went from 3.1 to 3.2 and that was major but other apps go from 1 to 2 ... in other words i think we should forget about this whole bug ;)
Not even mentioning versions like 20030811. Any objections if I close this ?
emerge -u blah will only update required packages. And we cannot support what you are asking for.
