I don't know about official, but one way I've used is to copy the ebuild you want to protect into your "protected" portage tree, up the version number to something that won't be reached this century, and run "emerge inject" on it. I think that should take care of any upgrades Just be careful about developers using ">=" in packages.mask. It may want to "downgrade" you then. Anders -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
