Hi folks,
Has the idea of distributing custom package.mask files occured?
This way you can "mask off" certain versions of software and hence limit
updates to minor changes. You can then use these on systems you want to
keep as stable as possible, use a test machine to test changes to the
package.mask and then roll it out. Might make management of many
workstations/servers easier.
Alternatively incorporating a custom package.mask into a custom boot CD
could provide the basis of a Gentoo-derived custom distro?
I use the word "custom" too much.
