I was thinking about this for a bit, and thought that maybe adding the |
| 22 |
slot to the package in /var/lib/portage/world would work. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
So, using `emerge --select` and `emerge --deselect` I set up my world |
| 25 |
file this way: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
# grep -i gentoo-sources /var/lib/portage/world |
| 28 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:4.14.105-r1 |
| 29 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:4.14.114 |
| 30 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:4.14.83 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I removed all other kernel packages manually so only those three are |
| 33 |
installed. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
However, portage still wants to install the latest gentoo-sources, even |
| 36 |
though the generic "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" is absent from the world |
| 37 |
file. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I figured this would be a way to manually update the kernel without |
| 40 |
having to manually add and remove masks. Darn. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
That's not how I'd expect portage to handle that situation (or maybe |
| 43 |
it's just me?) Can a dev chime in? |
