I'd like to stay on kernel-4.1.6, rather than keep installing the newest version at each upgrade.
As I recall, and a quick look at `man portage', a file named `package.provided' is meant for such things. The syntax is not described in detail... I tried these: /etc/portage/package.provided >=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.1.6 Still `emerge -vp gentoo-sources' indicates it will install the most recent kernel. then I noticed the portage man page, under `Format' does say: "relational operators are not allowed" So I dropped the `>=' part sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.1.6 Same result from `emerge -vp gentoo-sources' . . . What am I forgetting?
