I'm just going to make a note here, that because there's now:
virtual/rust-1.65.0-r1 (due to [1] )
without an existing
virtual/rust-1.65.0 (due to [2] which deleted 1.64 and 1.65 ebuilds)
but with an existing:
virtual/rust-1.64.0-r1
(due to [3] still remaining)
then my package mask:
>dev-lang/rust-1.65.0
>virtual/rust-1.65.0

causes emerge to downgrade virtual/rust from 1.65.0 to:
virtual/rust-1.64.0-r1:0/llvm-14::gentoo [1.65.0:0/0::gentoo] 
thus emerging: dev-lang/rust-bin-1.64.0-r1::gentoo

Of course I worked around it by updating my package.mask to:
>virtual/rust-1.65.0-r1

Sorry,  not getting it.
If you masked package on your system it’s up to you to update the mask, right?

You're absolutely right! I don't know what I was thinking. I should not have said anything.

I apologize.

I should've instead used a mask that ensures no package downgrades can happen(aside from no package upgrades), something like the following appears to work properly:
>dev-lang/rust-1.65.0
<dev-lang/rust-1.65.0
>virtual/rust-1.65.0
<virtual/rust-1.65.0

Thank you for your understanding :)

(I use this mask to make sure that only ebuilds from my localrepo get used, and I manually add new ones to localrepo whenever I notice them in the gentoo repo, after modifying them; ie. I wanted to avoid new rust ebuild(s) from gentoo repo to emerge (as an update) over my now-older ebuild from localrepo, so masking all the new ones seemed like a good workaround, though I didn't mind downgrades until today, so masking downgrades seems necessary because of ebuilds disappearing, or I could just add virtual/rust to my localrepo too and keep using my original package mask, I guess)

[Comment 4 Georgy Yakovlev 2022-11-17 13:43:18 UTC]

No problem, got it. I thought I missed something for a moment)

You can also use ~ instead of = as version comparison operator. It will match all revisions of same version.

~dev-lang/rust-1.65.0 will match -r1(and more)

I don’t remember if it works with <> though.

And since you are doing something custom it’s indeed on you to maintain local masks.
New virtual/rust added subslot, older revision was no longer needed, that’s standard practice to remove old virtuals.

If I understand you correctly, maybe this is what you're looking to do:
package.mask:
dev-lang/rust::gentoo
dev-lang/rust-bin::gentoo
virtual/rust::gentoo

No idea about the possible backlash - we have some packages depending on rust:0/llvm-* in the tree now, so you might face some rather confusing portage messages if you stumble upon those. Unless of course you copy the critical parts to your own overlay.

[Comment 6 Georgy Yakovlev 2022-11-17 13:47:56 UTC]

And also you can mask by repo)

dev-lang/rust::gentoo

Will completely mask any version of ebuild coming from gentoo repo. No version guessing needed.
Ok lets stop spamming this bug, I got carried away.
