I've never had to do this to be honest, but I can see how it could get |
| 8 |
messy. However, dselect has a 'hold' feature to prevent upgrading of |
| 9 |
packages by tagging the package with the '=' key. Great feature, which |
| 10 |
would work well here if gentoo used a graphical program like dselect. |

The behaviour was to still let you know if a package had upgrades, but |
| 13 |
would not upgrade it. Portage could do this as well, maybe with another |
| 14 |
tag when it prints out the list of packages you see 'U' or 'D' if something |
| 15 |
is downgraded or upgraded, but 'u' or 'd' if it is marked for |
| 16 |
up/downgrade, but won't be. Or soemthing like that :) |
