Then you could do: >=dev-db/mysql-4.2 This would allow any mysql-4.1.*, including 4.1.20-r1 and 4.1.99 Though you do raise a good point... it would be nice to specify a "real upstream version number" differently from the Gentoo "interim release number" such as -r2. Can you think of a sane way to do that? My suggestion would be to use a '+' character to represent "all possible gentoo interim releases", as follows: Masking >dev-db/mysql-4.1.20+ should allow mysql-4.1.20-r1 but not mysql-4.1.21 -- Jim Ramsay "Me fail English? That's unpossible!" -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
