Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm trying to understand package masking. If I want to keep a version of a |
| 4 |
package, if I mask-out anything higher than the current version then I figured |
| 5 |
that would accomplish the task. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Currently I have media-video/nvidia-settings-169.07 |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
If I want to keep this, I thought I could add this to |
| 10 |
/etc/portage/package.mask |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
>media-video/nvidia-settings-169.07 |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
but if I run |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
emerge --update --pretend --deep world |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I get |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
[ebuild UD] media-video/nvidia-settings-1.0.20070621 [169.07] |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I don't understand why it wants to downgrade the package from 169.07. I'm |
| 23 |
obviously missing something. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Thanks, |
| 26 |
