It makes no sense to me...
I've added 1.9 in /etc/portage/package.keywords like so: ========================== =app-crypt/gpg-agent-1.9.19 ~x86 =dev-libs/libksba-0.9.12 ~x86 =dev-libs/libassuan-0.6.10 ~x86 ========================== and emerged gpg-agent. I think that would be the easiest way to achieve what you want. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
