How to upgrade only packages installed with Portage?

How to upgrade only packages installed with Portage? When I run emerge -au world, it tries to upgrade everything it finds, but I need to upgrade only things are not in Entropy.

Nobody needs to upgrade packages installed with portage? Or the only one way is to have a list of packages from portage somewhere?

In Sabayon, if a package is installed with portage, and this package is not in entropy, it will be upgraded only by portage. For upgrade it, simply re-install:

Code: Select all
sudo emerge -av package


If the package is in entropy and in portage... the Portage's installed version will be mantained, until a new version appeared (in entropy or in portage), IN CONDITION THAT the /etc/entropy/client.conf file was edited, changing the line "ignore pseudo downgrades" was changed from "disable" to "enable"...

this edition of the file is necessary for use portage and entropy in the same installation of Sabayon... If not edited, Entropy packages "upgrading" really "downgrading" the packages!
