Hi, I believe that portage and ebuilds need a new feature that will mask a version of the ebuild for new installations, but will not force existing installs to be downgraded. For example, there is currently a problem with part of the cvs repos used in gift 0.12.0, so the ebuild is masked. Therefore my system wants to downgrade to 0.10.0. However, as my copy of 0.12.0 is working fine I don't need/want to downgrade!
A quick switch in the mask of something like "dont-downgrade" or some such could solve this? What do people think. -- Tom Wesley Please encrypt personal replies if possible.
