If you list a full package atom with a version in there, portage will not bother you about upgrading that package, and you do not have to keep the ebuild around in a local overlay. Does this do what you are trying to do? - -- William Hubbs gentoo accessibility team lead willi...@gentoo.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkpY2rMACgkQblQW9DDEZTg7wACfbWK3T/Y22DHJEkNVVNFJogJ9 WmoAn0hrTfbF1JaKiRuAVYrw8OyE4Eic =dzI6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
