I think emerge --inject is being deprecated, but I can't remember any |
| 35 |
sort of alternative. What the command does is tell Portage to think a |
| 36 |
package is installed, regardless of whether or not it is. I believe its |
| 37 |
purpose is/was to allow developers to muck around with patches and |
| 38 |
uber-unstable builds (e.g. CVS snapshots) without having to learn |
| 39 |
ebuild-ing in order to satisfy dependencies on other packages. |

Aha! A bit of effort solves everything! |

*** --inject has been deprecated. |
| 46 |
*** If you manage a piece of software yourself, add it's name and |
| 47 |
*** version (eg foo/bar-1.0) to /etc/portage/profile/package.provided. |
| 48 |
*** If you want to prevent portage from upgrading a package, add it to |
| 49 |
*** /etc/portage/package.mask prepending it with '>' (eg >foo/bar-1.0) |
| 50 |
*** For more information on fine-grained portage control, please see |
| 51 |
*** the portage man page. |

emerge: root access required. |

I have a feeling (Captain Obvious strikes again!) that |
| 57 |
/etc/portage/profile/package.provided is what you're looking for... |
