Hi, I'm trying to understand package masking. If I want to keep a version of a package, if I mask-out anything higher than the current version then I figured that would accomplish the task.
Currently I have media-video/nvidia-settings-169.07 If I want to keep this, I thought I could add this to /etc/portage/package.mask >media-video/nvidia-settings-169.07 but if I run emerge --update --pretend --deep world I get [ebuild UD] media-video/nvidia-settings-1.0.20070621 [169.07] I don't understand why it wants to downgrade the package from 169.07. I'm obviously missing something. Thanks, Mike -- Michael P. Soulier <msoul...@digitaltorque.ca> "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
