| 1 | I am doing a 'emerge -uD' but one of the packages the version currently |
| 2 | in portage doesn't compile, so I want to keep my current version, and |
| 3 | prevent emerge from trying to update it. How can I put a package on hold |
| 4 | (like in Debian)? |
| 5 | |
| 6 | I tried inserting: |
| 7 | |
| 8 | =x11-wm/awesome-3.1-r1 ~amd64 |
| 9 | |
| 10 | in /etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 11 | |
| 12 | but 'emerge -uD world' still tries to build x11-wm/awesome-3.1.1 |
| 13 | which fails, so the whole process is stopped. |
