As amd64 is in process of stabilizing I tend to prefer to specify |
| 6 |
package version in /etc/portage/package.keywords, anyway this can be |
| 7 |
trickier to maintain: |

1) as time passes, and lines are added to the file, many of them are |
| 10 |
left behind ineffective, referring to packages upgraded in the |
| 11 |
meanwhile. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
2) sometimes a downgrade is proposed because the version unmasked is |
| 14 |
removed from portage tree, if you still want ~ version have to unmask |
| 15 |
another specific version. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
To OP I can assure a mix of amd64 and ~amd64 is really stable and has |
| 18 |
more or less every program I need. |
| 19 |
No real problems, I experience sporadic X lockups if I switch repeatedly |
| 20 |
back and forth between X and quingy framebuffer. |
