I have portage 1.8.8 installed, since that shows up as the latest version |
8 |
available with emerge I will assume that it is masked ( I will confirm |
9 |
this). I am able to do a world update using " emerge --world update" using |
10 |
--pretend gives me a nice list of things that need updating. Since this is |
11 |
an older portage the /var/cache/edb/world file is not there. I am trying to |
12 |
find the file my version of protage is using to determine what is installed |
13 |
in the system. I want to lock a few packages at the version they are at and |
14 |
install the rest. How can I do this with 1.8.8, without going to 1.8.9, |
15 |
problem with upgrading portage first is that it will not create a world file |
16 |
based on what I have installed prior to going to 1.8.9. |
17 |

Thanks, |

I did: |
47 |
pkglist >/var/cache/edb/world |
48 |
but still get nothing to upgrade. |
49 |
|
50 |
BTW the portage guide is still inconsistent regarding whether world or |
51 |
update gets the '--' !!!! |
