If you use the command "emerge =sys-apps/package-1.2.3-r1" for example, you'll 'freeze' the sys-apps/package at version 1.2.3-r1. The build system I've written takes that into account.

The problem I've run into is that the Gentoo source mirrors age out old versions, and I haven't yet setup a local proxy/mirror, so I keep losing my frozen sources. I haven't come up with a great solution to that.

Hello all,

Is there a way to freeze the versions of each packages you use to build your x86 Gentoo embedded system on your Gentoo build server? When I say freeze, I mean that there is a way to maintain a "stable" tree on your build system and all the upcoming updates will only be for bug fixes and security fixes.

Regards,

GNUbie
