1 Hi,
2 how can I unmask (generally) certain M~ masked package and
3 mask one particular version of that package? I want to use
4 that package, but skip just one "x.y.z" upgrade, and continue
5 with any future higher upgrades ("x.y.z+1").
6
7 So I entered tree/package in /etc/portage/package.unmask, and
8 tree/package_x.y.z into /etc/portage/package.mask. But this
9 does not work, that "x.y.z" version still wants to be installed...
