Hello

I have this entry in /etc/portage/package.keywords
media-video/vlc                 ~x86

It resuleted in a stable version of vlc to be installed:
Latest version installed: 0.8.2-r2

However, the portage want to upgrade to a newer version:
[ebuild     U ] media-video/vlc-0.8.4-r1 [0.8.2-r2]

Since vlc-08.4-r1 Does not install correctly on my other systems
(have not drilled down into the failures yet)

I want maintain version vlc-0.8.2-r2 until the other systems
are happy with the newer version.

I've tried many varitions of modification to the files
in the /etc/portage dir, but nothing seems to freeze
this version of vlc from upgrade proposed by
'emerge -uDp world'.

In the /etc/portage/package.unmask, I even tried this:
=media-video/vlc-0.8.2-r2

Syntax to freeze this version is most appreciated, as I want to 
indefinatly keep this version on a particular system until the other
newer versions of vlc are stable for the features I need.

Ideas?

James
