Re: [gentoo-user] emerge -uDN world minus one package
Hello Jesse Adelman, Any suggestions? When faced with a similar problem in the distant past, I've grabbed the old ebuild from CVS for mythtv (and plugins) and put it in an overlay, but that seems so inelegant... Why? Overlays are for ebuilds not in the portage tree, and this ebuild is no longer in the portage tree. You'll also need media-tv/mythtv-0.20_p13288 in /etc/portage/package.mask to prevent portage trying to upgrade. Or you could let the current version of mythtv be installed, it's working fine here :) -- Neil Bothwick We are sorry, but the number you have dialed is imaginary. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] emerge -uDN world minus one package
Hi, all. I want to do an emerge -uDN world, mostly to update Xorg to the newest stable version. However, I have one package that I don't want to update, that being media-tv/mythtv. Now, the version of mythtv (and associated mythtv plugins) that I have installed currently has been removed from Portage, so the normal package.mask changes don't appear to work and only offer a downgrade. I know I could just do each update individually (and get around this), but I'd like to stay lazy and let emerge -uDN world just work. ;) The nitty gritty: I have installed: media-tv/mythtv-0.20_p13288 Portage has an update: media-tv/mythtv-0.20.1_p13344 But when I put this into package.mask =media-tv/mythtv-0.20.1_p13344 It then wants to downgrade to: media-tv/mythtv-0.20_p13110 which I don't want. Any suggestions? When faced with a similar problem in the distant past, I've grabbed the old ebuild from CVS for mythtv (and plugins) and put it in an overlay, but that seems so inelegant... I'm not without a remedy, I just hope to find out a less invasive/cumbersome way to accomplish this.
