I'd like to stay on kernel-4.1.6, rather than keep installing the |
| 2 |
newest version at each upgrade. |

As I recall, and a quick look at `man portage', a file named |
| 5 |
`package.provided' is meant for such things. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The syntax is not described in detail... I tried these: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
/etc/portage/package.provided |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
>=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.1.6 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Still `emerge -vp gentoo-sources' indicates it will install the most |
| 14 |
recent kernel. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
then I noticed the portage man page, under `Format' does say: |
| 17 |
"relational operators are not allowed" |
| 18 |
So I dropped the `>=' part |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.1.6 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Same result from `emerge -vp gentoo-sources' . . . |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
What am I forgetting? |
