[gentoo-user] preventing upgrade
Hi all, I am about to update my gentoo box and I do not want that the mantisbt package be upgraded. I would like to do it with more attention after I had upgrade my system. I had put =www-apps/mantisbt-1.0.0 ~x86 on my package.keywords file and it still wants to upgrade mantis to 1.0.1 version. what else do I need to do to prevent the upgrade ? Thanks, Allan -- An application asked: Requeires Windows 9x, NT4 or better, so I´ve installed Linux -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] preventing upgrade
if I put it will continue to try to upgrade instaled version 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 how can I maintain 1.0.0 instead of upgrading to 1.0.1 when I do a emerge -pDu world.

You'll notice that you don't need ~x86, because this keywords are not applicable in this file, each line contains an application that should be blocked from being emerged, that's all, if you add a , or =, you specify if versions greater, lower or equal to the one you put in the line should be masked too. and it still wants to upgrade mantis to 1.0.1 version. Sure you masked only that version, the upgraded version is not masked, remove the ~x86 (useless in this file) and change the = sign for a , this way masking every package above the version too. what else do I need to do to prevent the upgrade ? put www-apps/mantisbt-1.0.0 in /etc/portage/package.mask See, people already answered your question, I guess you were just a little lost on HOW package.mask works.

Sorry if I do not point myself cleared what do you mean it will try to upgrade? if you put www-apps/mantisbt-1.0.0 in /etc/portage/package.mask, version 1.0.0 is the highest portage is allowed to install. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This might sound like a stupid question, but I have to ask it to make sure.

I apologize in advance if I misunderstand you. Now, are you running a stable system? Because, if you only keyworded the 1.0.0 version of mantisbt, according at least to 'man portage', I don't think you should be seeing the upgrade from emerge -pu world.
