Question
I want to install django 1.4, but the default install version is 1.3.2, how can I change the version to install.
I only know that to change dir to /usr/portage/dev-python/django and install the django1.4's .ebuild
file
Is there another way? I read the use flag document but not found the way...
Solution
Like this :
emerge =django-1.4
OTHER TIPS
You can check what package versions are available:
equery list -po vim
Select required package with atom notation
emerge -av =app-editors/vim-7.4.273
emerge -av =dev-python/django-1.4
As long as there is an ebuild available, it will be merged or show a hint about unmasking the requested version number. For our example this should do the trick:
echo =dev-python/django-1.4 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
To stick with that version, be sure to mask higher versions by adding an entry to /etc/portage/package.mask:
echo >=dev-python/django-1.4 >> /etc/portage/package.mask
but careful with that... it might break updates in the future...
