Hi there.

I have a "stable" system (I don't have ~x86 set), but I like to have
the latest versions of some specific software (kde, gnome, amarok,
alsa, pulseaudio, wine and so on). To achieve that, I've been using
autounmask with the parameter -n. When I have a package I want to keep
in the latest version, I just autounmask -n package, so all the
dependencies are unmasked and no version number is appended.

That works fine, but I like to have the latest released versions,
which means I usually want to get away from the *9999 ebuilds. The
trouble is, when I use autounmask without version numbers, those 9999
packages usually are choosen by portage, for being the effective
latest ones.

I would like to know if there is a way for me to unmask (automatically
if possible) all versions BUT the 9999 ones, so I have the latest
releases but the less CVS/Beta packages as possible.

Any ideas?
