I have portage 1.8.8 installed, since that shows up as the latest version |
| 7 |
available with emerge I will assume that it is masked ( I will confirm |
| 8 |
this). I am able to do a world update using " emerge --world update" using |
| 9 |
--pretend gives me a nice list of things that need updating. Since this is |
| 10 |
an older portage the /var/cache/edb/world file is not there. I am trying to |
| 11 |
find the file my version of protage is using to determine what is installed |
| 12 |
in the system. I want to lock a few packages at the version they are at and |
| 13 |
install the rest. How can I do this with 1.8.8, without going to 1.8.9, |
| 14 |
problem with upgrading portage first is that it will not create a world file |
| 15 |
based on what I have installed prior to going to 1.8.9. |
| 16 |

Thanks, |

I did: |
| 46 |
pkglist >/var/cache/edb/world |
| 47 |
but still get nothing to upgrade. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
BTW the portage guide is still inconsistent regarding whether world or |
| 50 |
update gets the '--' !!!! |
