14 I did what you say and it really wants to emerge the new versions (only
15 did it with --pretend yet). But I still don't understand: what's the
16 meaning of ">" in the beginning of each line in
17 /etc/portage/package.mask? I thought it means that the version should be
18 1.0.7676 or _newer_? Am I wrong?
