Is there an easy way to tell emerge to update a package to the newest |
2 |
version available in a given SLOT? Say I wanted to update to the latest |
3 |
unstable version of gtk1. If I try: |
4 |
|
5 |
$ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pvu \>=x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r10 |
6 |
|
7 |
...it shows all the packages for the latest unstable version of gtk2. |
8 |
I'd love to see an option like "sameslot", which would check the slot of |
9 |
the version specified in the atom, and update to the latest version in |
10 |
this same slot. For example: |
11 |
|
12 |
$ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pvu --sameslot \>=x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r10 |
13 |
|
14 |
...would give me gtk+-1.2.10-r11. |
15 |
|
16 |
I know this can be done by masking out (through package.mask or |
17 |
carefully chosen package atoms on the command line) versions in |
18 |
different slots, but this requires knowing which versions are in which |
19 |
slots. I believe it would be best if portage hid the details of slots |
20 |
from its users. |

NB: I apologize if any of you already read this in gentoo-user: I hate |
25 |
double-posting, but this seems like a more appropriate place to ask. |
