Let assume the package is gnumeric version 1.6.3 |
11 |
Then put the following line into /etc/portage/package.keywords |
12 |
|
13 |
~app-office/gnumeric-1.6.3 |
14 |
|
15 |
This way you will get -1.6.3 and, if there is a GENTOO version bump, |
16 |
to ~app-office/gnumeric-1.6.3-r1, you will get that as well even if it |
17 |
is keyword masked (i.e. is ~x86). But you will *not* get -1.6.4 if it |
18 |
is ~x86 so you will in good time return to a stable version. |
