Howdy, I'm curious if there is a way to conditionally package mask. Let me give todays example.
Running ~x86. gimp-2.3.9 is installed. gimp-perl-2.2_pre1 has this RDEPEND =media-gfx/gimp-2.2* So naturally wants to downgrade gimp to 2.2.11-r1. What would be nice is to be able to mask: >=gimp-2.3 if =gimp-perl-2.2_pre1 That would then downgrade gimp to 2.2 and leave it there until the next version of gimp-perl is available. As it is, all I can see to do to prevent upgrade/downgrade cycling of gimp is to package mask >=gimp-2.3 and hopefully remember to unmask it when the next release of gimp-perl is available. It just feels like there ought to be a better way... Thank you, Roy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
