I just ran an emerge world -u and at the beginning there were some errors/warnings about my lines in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
I didn't save the error but it indicate my file would be ignored. It contained dev-util/cvs app-editors/emacs-cvs I didn't want the emerge to mess with emacs. I build my own for yrs now. However rather than investigate and fix, I just commented the line out and proceeded. Emerge installed the latest emacs and even overwrote my .emacs-custom file. (Which seems it should not have, if it found one) But what I want here now is to know how to handle this in the future. That is, how to tell emerge that I want certain packages ignored or left to me. Last time around those lines in package.provided were sufficient but apparantly something has changed. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
