if you want to install an -exact- version of something, you need to tell |
| 21 |
portage that by using the format : |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
emerge =name-version |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
here are some examples: |
| 26 |
emerge -p xchat |
| 27 |
[ebuild R ] net-irc/xchat-2.0.8-r1 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
emerge -p "<xchat-2" |
| 31 |
[ebuild N ] gnome-base/gnome-panel-1.4.2-r2 |
| 32 |
[ebuild N ] net-irc/xchat-1.8.11-r1 |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
emerge -p "=xchat-1.8.11" |
| 35 |
[ebuild N ] gnome-base/gnome-panel-1.4.2-r2 |
| 36 |
[ebuild N ] net-irc/xchat-1.8.11 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
emerge -p "=xchat-2.0.6-r1" |
| 40 |
[ebuild UD] net-irc/xchat-2.0.6-r1 [2.0.8-r1] |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
