Seems to me that the simplest solution to your problem, for the time |
| 9 |
being, is to simply avoid running emerge -uD world or the like. If |
| 10 |
there are a few applications which you want to be up to date, only |
| 11 |
update those apps. If they need newer versions of libraries or other |
| 12 |
applications in order to work properly portage will take care of that. |

As far as security updates go, you can use the glsa-check [1] tool to |
| 14 |
make sure that your system isn't affected by any known vulnerabilities |
| 15 |
in Gentoo software, and if you are affected glsa-check can update the |
| 16 |
required software as well. |

I think that's as good as you're going to get until there's an |
| 19 |
uber-stable portage branch. |
