Yes, I understand you-- but what then are you going to do when the |
| 26 |
downgrade is detected? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
You won't have a choice but to downgrade; if you try masking packages |
| 29 |
lower than the current one, you'll get an error saying that all |
| 30 |
available packages are masked, and if you do downgrade, your X will be |
| 31 |
broken again until you re-emerge the unstable version with |
| 32 |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS on the command line-- EVERY TIME you do an emerge |
| 33 |
(-whatever) world. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Is that what you want? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The solution for your stated preference is to unmask the packages' |
| 38 |
keyword in /etc/portage/package.keywords, and mask all versions of the |
| 39 |
package above the one you have now, so that they do not appear if an |
| 40 |
update occurs and you do not want to update to a further unstable version: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
#echo 'media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86' >>/etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 43 |
#echo 'media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86' >>/etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 44 |
#echo '>media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676' >>/etc/portage/package.mask |
| 45 |
#echo '>media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r1' >>/etc/portage/package.mask |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
You would of course have to keep an eye on the Portage tree so you would |
| 48 |
know when to remove the masks and unmask entries, but you could get |
| 49 |
through your daily life without having to re-emerge everything all the time. |

Hope this helps, |
