This upgrades >= means greater than or equal to, so it will install the |
| 13 |
latest available version. You want one of |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
emerge -av =mail-mta/sendmail-8.13.7 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
to emerge a specific version, or |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
emerge -av "<mail-mta/sendmail-8.14.0" |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
to get the latest available 8.13 version. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
You can also make this change permanent by adding |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
>=mail-mta/sendmail-8.14.0 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
to /etc/portage.package.mask |
