Oh come on. "I'm not sure what the problem is" would probably be a better reply. Stable implies "not so often changing". If you really need newer packages on a system that has to be rock-solid, then keyword what you need and nothing else. There are many ways of doing that... * --autounmask-write (imagine a time before that!) * echo 'kde-base/*' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords * ... My impression is that the stable bitrot has become a lot better. Even Gnome is updating now... :D Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas K.
