[gentoo-user] I don't want to upgrade to xorg-x11-7.0

[Daevid Vincent]

How do I prevent my server from upgrading to Xorg 7.0 modular 
(although ideally, I would like to upgrade any 6.x regular Xorg versions
that come along).

I've had no luck getting it to work on my Dell notebook, and I fear it will
only be equally painful on my server.

*  x11-base/xorg-x11
      Latest version available: 7.0-r1
      Latest version installed: 6.8.2-r6

I did this:

server portage # cat /etc/portage/package.mask 
=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6

But when I do an "emerge -Davu world" it still tries to pull xorg
dependencies:

!!!(dependency required by "x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1" [ebuild])

I *DO* have this in my package.keywords file, along with a bunch of other
ones for KDE/Gnome/etc:

x11-base/xorg-x11 ~x86

But shouldn't the 'mask' file have priority?
