You probably already know this holly, but you can add * to the end of your atom there to accept all version number changes smaller than the ones you've specified. E.g. echo '=dev-db/mysql-4.0.26* ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords Then, you'll accept ~x86 for 4.0.26 and 4.0.26-r1 or even 4.0.26.1. I often use cat-egory/package-X.y* since the third version number is for many packages only used for security or major bug fixes. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
