I needed to unmask ivtv by placing it in my |
| 2 |
/etc/portage/package.keywords as "media-tv/ivtv". Now I'd like to |
| 3 |
have my system not ask me to ever upgrade it again until the newer |
| 4 |
version is required as a dependency of some other program. |

I thought that putting "=media-tv/ivtv-0.9.0" (where 0.9.0 is my |
| 7 |
current version) in /etc/portage/package.mask would be the solution, |
| 8 |
but when I "emerge ivtv -pv" it wants to upgrade to "0.9.1". |

I commented out the line in package.keywords thinking maybe if it was |
| 11 |
already installed and masked that portage would ignore it. The result |
| 12 |
of this was portage wanted to downgrade to the more 'stable' 0.8.x - |
| 13 |
which is also not the desired result. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Is there a way to not upgrade to 0.9.1 without emerge'ing ivtv with |
| 16 |
the '-1' option or using package.provided (as it seems to circumvent |
| 17 |
portage's dependency checking)? Thanks. |
