1 Hi,

3 to a revision being removed from portage:
4
5 lightning ~ # emerge -pvDuN world

7 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

9 Calculating world dependencies... done!
10 <SNIP>
11 [ebuild UD] dev-db/mysql-4.0.27 [4.1.20] USE="berkdb perl ssl
12 -big-tables -debug -embedded -minimal -raid -srvdir -static" 10,895 kB

16 lightning ~ # eix -I mysql
17 * dev-db/mysql
18 Available versions: !3.23.58-r1 4.0.25-r2 4.0.27 [M]4.1.21
19 [M]5.0.24-r1 [M]5.1.7_beta
20 Installed: 4.1.20
21 Homepage: http://www.mysql.com/
22 Description: A fast, multi-threaded, multi-user SQL
23 database server.

25 However, I don't want it changed right now as the other machines on
26 the network are still running 4.1.20 and I would like them to all stay

28
29 At least for the short term how can I tell portage not to touch
30 MySQL? (package.provided maybe?)
31
32 Thanks,
33 Mark
