Well, ivtv is a little strange in the sense that each branch is specific |
| 17 |
for a kernel branch. Technically, you're going to be best off running |
| 18 |
the latest ivtv branch (irregardless of whether its marked stable). |
| 19 |
So, if you are running the 0.9 branch of ivtv, I'd recommend keeping up |
| 20 |
to date with the bugfixes and upgrading to 0.9.1. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If you wanted to do something like that, and make all 0.9.x versions |
| 23 |
"stable" in package.keywords, then you would add this: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
=media-tv/ivtv-0.9* |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
But if you just want to stick with 0.9.0, then what you had before is |
| 28 |
correct. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
=media-tv/ivtv-0.9.0 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Just make sure there aren't any other entries for ivtv in there. |
