hm, "--force" might eventually get other meanings, with dependencies |
11 |
and such. but I can't really think of any other fitting option. |
12 |
"--any-stability-level" is a tad long, but "--force" will probably |
13 |
imply "--any-stability-level", and of course, we can use a short |
14 |
mapping of it (-A or so). I'll see about getting this in as well. |

|
16 |
please note that an option like this will _not_ have the exact |
17 |
effect you're thinking of. |

emerge --force xgammon |
20 |
|
21 |
will get the most resent xgammon. if you specifically want |
22 |
xgammon-0.98a you need to do: |
23 |
|
24 |
emerge --force =xgammon-0.98a |
25 |
|
26 |
note the "=". if you don't give the "="-sign emerge will look for |
27 |
the latest version of the package "xgammon-0.98a" and come up short. |
28 |
this is also how emerge / portage works today. |
