As amd64 is in process of stabilizing I tend to prefer to specify |
6 |
package version in /etc/portage/package.keywords, anyway this can be |
7 |
trickier to maintain: |

1) as time passes, and lines are added to the file, many of them are |
10 |
left behind ineffective, referring to packages upgraded in the |
11 |
meanwhile. |
12 |
|
13 |
2) sometimes a downgrade is proposed because the version unmasked is |
14 |
removed from portage tree, if you still want ~ version have to unmask |
15 |
another specific version. |

|
17 |
To OP I can assure a mix of amd64 and ~amd64 is really stable and has |
18 |
more or less every program I need. |

No real problems, I experience sporadic X lockups if I switch repeatedly |
20 |
back and forth between X and quingy framebuffer. |
