Personally, I run stable packages (ie, not ACCEPT_KEYWORDS) when-ever I can. If I do need an unstable package, I usually "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge .." If you want particular packages to not get changed by emerge -u world, you can either remove them from the /var/cache/edb/world file or pin them to a specific version. I don't know if you can pin unstable versions though :)
Personally, if I've installed an unstable package I remove it from my world file & manage it in a more manual way - just the price you need to pay :) Brad > -----Original Message----- > From: Fisher, Robert (FXNZ CHC) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, 2 April 2003 10:30 a.m. > To: Linux Users Group (E-mail) > Subject: Gentoo package upgrade question > > > Gentoo users: > > I recently commented out the ACCEPT KEYWORDS line from > /etc/make.conf to get > latest versions of some programmes - Gnucash in particular. > > Today when I ran > emerge rsync && emerge -up world > > it wanted to go back to earlier versions of some packages > > What do you recommend for the ACCEPT KEYWORDS line? > > Do you think I should leave it uncommented permanently or what? > > Robert >
