I'm currently trying to get thru an emerge -vuD world but having various things crop up. Some I thought were handled long ago like this overlooking what is in package.provided:
rsnapshot-1.2.2 bacula-1.48.5 cvs-emacs-24 The last two are fake versions so they would stay ahead of what ever comes into portage for a while. My understanding is that portage looks here, and if the version is newer it by passes these packages. So this should not happen: emerge -vuDp app-editors/emacs-cvs These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1 [22.0.50] USE="X gif gtk jpeg nls png spell -Xaw3d -tiff" 0 kB Oh, and why is `tiff' turned off (-tiff)? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
