What about the "~" operator, which does what you mentioned? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
For instance, I have this in my package.keywords: |
| 43 |
~dev-python/matplotlib-0.98.5.2 |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
That keywords that particular version, along with all revisions. I learned |
| 46 |
about it on one of the Gentoo lists, but haven't found a reference in any |
| 47 |
portage man page except ebuild(5) (which does't mean it's not documented online, |
| 48 |
but I didn't check.) |
