Then you have to update those too. As I said, either way in the long term, you have to work at overriding portage defaults. Both ways will give the same result, both ways require work. The best thing is what I mentioned and someone else mentioned, talk to the dev and ask if it can be a option instead of a requirement. That would fix the whole thing maybe even for others too. Lots of options. OP just needs to pick whatever will work for him. After all, it will be him working on this not us. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
