To be sure, I'd take the lowest version and put a >= in front. Based on |
| 33 |
what I get here, it should look like this in the mask file: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
>=sys-boot/grub-2.00_p5107-r2 |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
That way you don't have to worry about the new version that may come |
| 38 |
later, and if the old grub gets removed from the tree. |
