You might want to take a look at man 5 portage, in particular, the |
| 18 |
section on /etc/portage/profile/package.provided. If you list a full |
| 19 |
package atom with a version in there, portage will not bother you about |
| 20 |
upgrading that package, and you do not have to keep the ebuild around |
| 21 |
in a local overlay. |

Does this do what you are trying to do? |
