Hi folks, |

Has the idea of distributing custom package.mask files occured? |
4 |
This way you can "mask off" certain versions of software and hence limit |
5 |
updates to minor changes. You can then use these on systems you want to |
6 |
keep as stable as possible, use a test machine to test changes to the |
7 |
package.mask and then roll it out. Might make management of many |
8 |
workstations/servers easier. |

Alternatively incorporating a custom package.mask into a custom boot CD |
11 |
could provide the basis of a Gentoo-derived custom distro? |
12 |
|
13 |
I use the word "custom" too much. |
