Part of the process for upgrading to the new java system, and using |
| 2 |
modular X (before it became stable) requires keywording |
| 3 |
via /etc/portage/package.keywords. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
What happens when the keywording is no longer necessary? It appears |
| 6 |
that you slowly collect an ~x86 system as the keywords grow! - along |
| 7 |
with the breakages that implies (I was recently caught, which is why I |
| 8 |
am asking) |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Over time, my two stable(!) systems are now 153 and 421 ~x86 packages |
| 11 |
respectively in *THAT* file. The larger system required modular X |
| 12 |
because of the i810 driver (now at 7.1), but now stable 7.0 is released, |
| 13 |
I assume I am going to have a terminally broken system if I just delete |
| 14 |
the keywords? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Is there a way to easily stop the system upgrading until the stable |
| 17 |
packages catch up? - without breakages? |
