eix lilypond
* media-sound/lilypond
Available versions: 2.0.3 ~2.2.4 ~2.2.6 ~2.4.2 ~2.5.2 2.7.9[2]
~2.7.27[2]
Installed: none
Homepage: http://lilypond.org/
Description: GNU Music Typesetter
[1] /usr/local/portage
[2] /usr/portage/local/layman/ecatmur
So... still not up-to-date, /per se/, but there are more current
versions in Portage (2.5.2), and development versions available in
overlay, as well as on bugs.gentoo.org:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97574
They're just not the /stable/ (in terms of Portage) version, but they
are available; you must be keyworded ARCH, so all you see is the last
stable (as per Portage) version.
You might consider keywording lilypond in /etc/portage/package.keywords
to get the ~ARCH version (I'm ~x86, so don't know if the versions are
the same/available for other ARCHes), or learning how to create a
PORTDIR_OVERLAY
(overlay directory tree).
See /man portage/ for information on keywording a specific package; see
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Portage_Overlay for information on overlay
directories and a listing of sources (other than b.g.o) for 3rd party
ebuilds (such as ecatmur's overlay, listed above).
HTH,
