Hi, |

I am using the ~x86 (testing) version of gentoo linux. After recent |
4 |
updates, my X windows became extremely sluggish and I found out that the |
5 |
problem is related to a new version of mesa (7.8.2 specifically). So I |
6 |
downgraded to version 7.7.1 and my desktop works great again. |

|

Now I want to prevent mesa from being updated until this issue is sorted |
9 |
out upstream. I have looked at package.provide, but that didn't work. |
10 |
Currently, I have placed media-libs/mesa into my |
11 |
/etc/portage/package.mask file and this seems to do the trick. Is this |
12 |
the recommended way for handling this situation? |

14 |
Being a long time gentoo user, I want to do things the right way, so |
15 |
just working fine isn't enough :) |
