++ assuming it builds, which it probably would. I'd just stick the old ebuild in an overlay and mask out the gentoo repo for that package (I assume mask atoms can take a repo name). If the old openssh doesn't build then you're going to have a more difficult situation. A container does seem like a reasonable solution for this, if you're just doing this for the ssh client. You could also just use a chroot, though these days I have completely replaced chroots with containers as the latter are almost universally better. -- Rich
