When I need to unmask something in package.keywords, I prefer to put the |
| 16 |
package along with its version number in it. I leave out the trailing -rN, |
| 17 |
and start with ~ instead of =, which means that minor revision updates |
| 18 |
(increasing the -rN) which often are security fixes are also matched. |

Talking about firefox, I just added these two lines before I replied to this |
| 20 |
thread some hours ago: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
~www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.5.3 |
| 23 |
~net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.1.4 |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
When a newer ~arch xulrunner enters the portage tree, it will not be |
| 26 |
upgraded. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
There are also some packages which I like to be always the new version, so I |
| 29 |
leave out the version number. firefox could be such an application. But for |
| 30 |
everything I have to unmask additionally, I add the version numbers. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I use eix-test-obsolete once in a while in order to clean this of redundant |
| 33 |
entries. |

Oh, my package.keywords is quite large, with about 50 entries. Oh, and the |
| 41 |
300 entries for KDE 4.3. |
