"emerge --depclean" always wants to remove all but the most recent version of gentoo-sources. I read the manpage and can't figure out how to exclude this package. The manpage states:
"Packages that are part of the world set will always be kept." However, if I have sys-kernel/gentoo-sources in world, it still wants to remove all but the most recent version of that package, which I think is the correct behavior... just not what I desire. For now I am working around this by placing version-specific package atoms into my world file, but I am just curious if there is a different way of "masking" them from depclean -- one that does not require me to manually edit my world file every time a new kernel revision is installed. So, my question: Is there a way to tell depclean to never remove *any* version of gentoo-sources? Thanks.
