Yes. The line you are adding to package.keywords says that for *the |
| 20 |
specific version listed* (since you begin with "=") you will emerge |
| 21 |
it, if it is keyworded (or stable). For any other version, in |
| 22 |
particular for the next version issued from upstream, the line you |
| 23 |
added says nothing. Hence, since you are running a stable system, |
| 24 |
only stable versions (except for 1.4.0a-r1) are eligible for emerging. |
