Hi
I am wondering whether the is a possibilty to exclude certain (big) packages
from emerge world. For instance, when I don't want to upgrade from kde 3.2.3
to kde 3.2.4. I have allready searched the gentoo forum for a solution. The
only thing I found is to mask all version of a certain package
in /etc/portage/package.mask above the version I currently use.
for example:
>kde-base/kdebase-3.2.3
>kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.3
...
...
In my opinion it is a very unelegant solution. So I would like to know whether
something like "emerge world --except kde" is possible. I also didn't find
anythin in man emerge.
Thanks
