I've been having serious problems with newer versions of |
| 2 |
gentoo-sources (basically 2.6.12-r9 and 2.6.12-r10), so I have |
| 3 |
downgraded to 2.6.12-r4, which is rock solid for me. So, I thought to |
| 4 |
add something like this atom to /etc/portage/package.mask: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
>sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r4 |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
However, what I really want to to is mask all versions of |
| 9 |
gentoo-sources greater than 2.6.12-r4 and less than or equal to |
| 10 |
2.6.12-r10, so that I can test newer versions of gentoo-sources beyond |
| 11 |
2.6.12-r10 when they become available. So, what I really want is |
| 12 |
something like this: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r4< >=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r10 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Of course, this syntax doesn't work and spits out an "Invalid atom" |
| 17 |
error when I run emerge. Does anyone know the proper syntax for what I |
| 18 |
want to achieve? Is it even possible to acheive this? |

Thank you for the help in advance, |

As an aside, I think this latest instability with new versions of |
| 25 |
gentoo-sources has to do with problems using older versions of the |
| 26 |
nvidia drivers with newer kernel versions. Unfortunately, I cannot |
| 27 |
upgrade my nvidia drivers because my Geforce2 GTS is officially |
| 28 |
unsupported by the latest drivers. |
