Looking for some guidance in managing the source of package |
2 |
installs/upgrades when a package is provided by both the standard |
3 |
repository and an overlay. |
4 |
|
5 |
I currently have the poly-c overlay added via layman. poly-c provides |
6 |
many of the same packages as the standard gentoo repository. |
7 |
|
8 |
When I install/update packages, portage appears to prefer the version |
9 |
provided by poly-c rather than the version provided by the gentoo |
10 |
repository, if the two provide the same version number of the package. |
11 |
Examples of this include sys-boot/grub, sys-fs/udev, and other critical |
12 |
packages. |
13 |
|
14 |
I would prefer that portage prioritize gentoo's version rather than the |
15 |
overlay's version, unless specified otherwise (eg. |
16 |
sys-boot/grub::poly-c) when installing. |
17 |
|
18 |
What's the best way to go about doing this? I could specify ::gentoo |
19 |
for each entry in my world file, but this seems rather heavy-handed and |
20 |
high maintenance. Is there a better way? |
