Re: [gentoo-user] skip some package in glsa-check
yeah, that was a typo! =/ the file I want to mask (and that's the same glsa-check wants to update) is really being masked when I run emerge.

I realized the same as I was reading portage man page about that file. It requires explicit versions for the provided packages, and that makes my suggestion a non-working one.

That file has no s (plural) before the dot, and if you create one with an s, I think it will just be silently ignored. -- Arttu V.

it didn't work :( although I didn't know about the existence of that file! :) On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 11:41 AM, Arttu V. wrote: > On 12/17/09, Crístian Viana wrote: > > hi, > > > > I run "glsa-check -f affected" to update a Gentoo system, but there's one > > specific package I can't update, because it's a C library someone is > using > > and the 'secure' version is causing segmentation fault on her program, so > I > > added it to packages.mask. but as I run glsa-check in a cron job, if > there's > > one package it can't emerge, it won't emerge the rest of them (if only I > > could add "--keep-going"). > > > > does anyone have a solution to this?

[gentoo-user] skip some package in glsa-check
hi, I run "glsa-check -f affected" to update a Gentoo system, but there's one specific package I can't update, because it's a C library someone is using and the 'secure' version is causing segmentation fault on her program, so I added it to packages.mask. but as I run glsa-check in a cron job, if there's one package it can't emerge, it won't emerge the rest of them (if only I could add "--keep-going"). does anyone have a solution to this? I want to keep running glsa-check to update my system, but I don't want to update one specific package. thanks! -- Crístian Deives dos Santos Viana [aka CD1] Sent from Campinas, SP, Brazil
