[gentoo-server] protecting particular versions?

[Jacob Walcik]

i've looked in the portage handbook, and i'm digging in the forums
now, but i can't seem to find a way to do this.

i've got a production postgres database server running gentoo.  this
morning, when updating my desktop (also running gentoo) i noticed that
a new version of postgres is available.

is there some way to tell the postgres server (and the machines that
use postgres client libraries to connect to it) to ignore that update?
 i seem to recall there being a mechanism through which you can
protect certain packages to prevent updates from being applied.

glsa-check looks interesting, but doesn't satisfy my requirement of
packages on production machines only being installed from tested
binaries built on a dev machine (unless i'm missing something).

thanks!
