1 Hi folks,
2
3 Why is it, when I unmask a package (with a higher version number than the
4 "official one") by using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, portage downgrades it on the next
5 emerge -u world to a lower version? This is very irritating behaviour. Can it
6 be turned off or disabled somehow?
7
8 Of course I can hack it out of portage (or hack something into portage that
9 watches version numbers and bypass mask checking), but that's kind of a dirty
10 way to do it.
11
12 Any insights?
13
14 Cheers,
15 Emiel
