1 Hi there,
2
3 what's the syntax for blocking a specific package version?
4
5 Nvrec does not work with the latest divx4linux, just with an older
6 version. If I say DEPEND="=media-libs/divx4linux-20020418*" this
7 makes it get this version before compiling, but it does not stop
8 anyone from compiling the new divx4linux version after that (which
9 will break divx related nvrec programs because the libraries are
10 not compatible).
11
12 Check http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26517 for details
13 of the problem.
14
15 Any idea?

17 Thanks,
