Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm trying to understand package masking. If I want to keep a version of a |
4 |
package, if I mask-out anything higher than the current version then I figured |
5 |
that would accomplish the task. |
6 |
|
7 |
Currently I have media-video/nvidia-settings-169.07 |
8 |
|
9 |
If I want to keep this, I thought I could add this to |
10 |
/etc/portage/package.mask |
11 |
|
12 |
>media-video/nvidia-settings-169.07 |
13 |
|
14 |
but if I run |
15 |
|
16 |
emerge --update --pretend --deep world |
17 |
|
18 |
I get |
19 |
|
20 |
[ebuild UD] media-video/nvidia-settings-1.0.20070621 [169.07] |
21 |
|
22 |
I don't understand why it wants to downgrade the package from 169.07. I'm |
23 |
obviously missing something. |
24 |
|
25 |
Thanks, |
26 |
