If you use specific versions in the package.keywords file (i.e. do |
| 9 |
"=category/package-version-revision ~arch" instead of |
| 10 |
"category/package ~arch", this doesn't happen. You just need to watch |
| 11 |
for downgrades in case a ~arch version is removed without ever going |
| 12 |
stable, and every so often go through it looking for package versions |
| 13 |
that have been superseded. |
