Here's my problem, when I follow the documentation, I put the file in |
7 |
package.keywords, and that doesn't unmask them when I do an emerge |
8 |
--update. At this point, I think the documentation is wrong and that |
9 |
should be placed in package.unmask, right? |

You know, I've never used that feature before, or in fact built any |
19 |
packages as backups. Got any tips or link to show me the best way to |
20 |
handle it? |

Actually, I do have 3.5.9 on this box and I've yet to go back to it now |
37 |
that 4.1.1 is on it. However, I'd already decided to use kdeprefix |
38 |
anyway, mainly because I feel more comfortable moving through that |
39 |
upgrade path than NOT using it. |
