I am doing a 'emerge -uD' but one of the packages the version currently in portage doesn't compile, so I want to keep my current version, and prevent emerge from trying to update it. How can I put a package on hold (like in Debian)?
I tried inserting: =x11-wm/awesome-3.1-r1 ~amd64 in /etc/portage/package.keywords but 'emerge -uD world' still tries to build x11-wm/awesome-3.1.1 which fails, so the whole process is stopped.
