Yes. I mean, most time I do no pinning because Portage does the right thing |
13 |
(tm). |

But if I explicitly pin a package to one version (or >= version), this is done |
16 |
_by intention_ and I do want Portage to respect this. A warning or a needed |
17 |
flag (something like "emerge -u --reallybreakmydependenciesiknowwhatimdoing |
18 |
world", error without this flag) is ok, but a downgrade is IMHO unaccepable |
19 |
in this case. |
