Prevent Entropy downgrade [Solved]

[vault]

I installed rubyripper a couple of weeks ago through Portage since it isn't available through Entropy. Then I synced equo with portage because I thought that it was a good idea for entropy to know about the packages I installed from source. Today I tried to do a world update and equo indicated that it wanted to downgrade all of the ruby packages that are higher than what is available in the sabayon repo and remove the packages that are not available in the sabayon repo. Is there some way to go back and tell equo to ignore the packages in gentoo-db and prevent the downgrade/removal? Thanks.

you can use the entropy mask file and mask entropy packages

how did u sync entropy with portage?

how to make equo world ignore packages?

I used 'equo database gentoosync' to sync entropy and portage. I might try the 'ignore-spm-downgrades|enable' option in /etc/entropy/client.conf since that would be easier than masking all of the packages that it is going to downgrade. I've only installed a few packages through portage so I think it's unlikely to break anything. Thanks.
