1 Hello,
2
3 I'm currently running kernel 2.6.25 and I have no issues with it so I don't
4 really want to upgrade it just yet. I just picked up
5 sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.27-r2, so I thought I'd mask out anything above
6 2.6.25 for now to keep the headers in sync with the kernel that I'm running.
7
8 So I put this in my /etc/portage/package.mask:
9
10 >=sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.26
11
12 And now
13
14 msoulier@anton:~$ emerge --pretend --update world
15
16 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
17
18 Calculating dependencies... done!
19 [ebuild UD] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.23-r3 [2.6.27-r2]
20
21 So, there's no 2.6.25 version? The last one before 2.6.26 was 2.6.23?
22
23 Thanks,
24 Mike
