 Posted: Thu Aug 03, 2006 9:54 pm Post subject: Any way to block the r* kernel upgrades from emerging? |
 |
|
Hey everybody. I'm a bit lazy with upgrading kernels, and I really only want to do upgrades from, for example, version 2.6.16-r* to 2.6.17-r*. In other words, I don't want spend time to emerging and compiling 2.6.16-r1, 2.6.16-r2, etc. Is there a line I can add to /etc/portage/package.mask that will allow me to only install 2.6.**-r1 kernels?

| Code: | | echo '=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.1*-*' >> /etc/portage/package.mask |
That'll block all kernel updates unless theres a new release in the 2.6.* area. |

Couldn't you just wait till the new kernel releases come out and not upgrade until? I don't see a point in doing it manually.

Hello!
I have solved this by not having the kernel in the world file | Code: | | # emerge --oneshot gentoo-sources-version |
and then putting a line in /etc/portage/package.provided to tell portage that there is a kernel available in the system.
| Code: | $ cat /etc/portage/package.provided
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.16.4 |
