dark-lord root # cat /etc/portage/package.mask >=net-www/apache-2.0.47 >=dev-db/mysql-4.0.13 >=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.7 In order to temporarily block those packages from being picked up in the world update. However: dark-lord root # emerge world -Up >>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options. These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

Is this not the correct way of doing this? If not, what is the correct way? -- Ian Truelsen Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: ihtruelsen Homepage: http://www.ihtruelsen.dyndns.org -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
