hi everybody!

I don't like to upgrade to ruby version 1.8.3 so i added the following line(s)
(not all at the same time) to /etc/portage/package.keywords:

=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.2

=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.2-r2

=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.2-r2 x86

<dev-lang/ruby-1.8.2-r2 x86

but none of these entries kept `emerge -uva world' from upgrading ruby. what
I've done wrong?

thanks in advance!

I think you should add
>dev-lang/ruby-1.8.2-r2
to /etc/portage/package.mask
which would mask anything above that version.

You should use this:

>=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.3

in /etc/portage/package.mask
