Related to this, is there a way to NOT get notified of all the minor increments?
I'd rather just upgrade when a new "real" version is available instead of all these itty bitty incremental upgrades like "rc1" "rc2" etc. or 0.5.2-r1 and 0.5.2-r3 etc. But I would consider 0.5.3 and certainly want 0.6.x > -----Original Message----- > From: Randy Barlow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, July 30, 2006 9:24 AM > To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org > Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Exluding some apps from emerge > --update world > > Alex Fortwinder wrote: > > I's like to update my system, however, I'd like to keep > some of the packages as they are (X, firefox, kernel, etc) > > How do I go about it before i run emerge --update --deep > --newuse world? > > Add entries to /etc/portage/package.mask.
