 how to "emerge world" except one package? Hi there! I'd like to update my packages, but the newer version of xorg causes some dependency problems. As I don't feel I really need updating xorg now, I wonder if there is some way to "emerge world" except this package and leave this particular package in it's current version. Is it possible, or do I have to update manually every single package that'd be updated by "emerge world"? TIA, regards, DonWito      |

You could mask it in /etc/portage/packages.mask (or is it package.mask?). I did this to stop development-sources-2.6.8.1 from installing. I'm not using a Gentoo system at the moment so I can't check the format or file name but have a look at the Portage manual. -- Andy. |

You can mask a particular version of a package in /etc/portage/package.mask, like so: =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r2 You can also use "<", ">", "<=" and ">=" to tell portage which package versions you don't want, e.g. <x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1 Regards...
