[gentoo-user] Protecting a package in package.keywords?

I needed to unmask ivtv by placing it in my /etc/portage/package.keywords as media-tv/ivtv. Now I'd like to have my system not ask me to ever upgrade it again until the newer 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

[SNIP] Hmm... If you put ~media-tv/ivtv-0.9.0 in both package.mask and package.keywords then you will find that ~media-tv/ivtv-0.9.0 cannot be installed because it is masked by: package.mask. Hence I would say that package.mask takes precedence over package.keywords... I suppose what you wanted

I am a jfs user as well and would recommend (especially on a laptop) to add the line that was recommended above: root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/hda2 to the bottom of your /boot/grub/grub.conf. Often when I hard reboot (power failures, etc), reading

Frankly, I've stopped trying to grok iptables but rather I use a frontend like shorewall. It's much simpler than doing it all by yourself. I installed ipcop briefly (just to have a look) and between my lan network card not being supported and the additional features I wanted to put on the box
