This where the change log for one of the sane packages is located. /usr/portage/media-gfx/sane-backends/ChangeLog Usually the ones that edit there are the maintainers. I think you need to file a bug report and request the new version to be put in the tree and eventually made stable. Of course, if it is really new, it may be in a overlay for testing too.

[gentoo-user] sane-backends driving me insane. O_O
Well, here we are again. Sane-backends gives me this error: make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sane-backends-1.0.18-r2/work/sane-backends-1.0.18/sanei' making all in backend make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/sane-backends-1.0.18-r2/work/sane-backends-1.0.18/backend' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `libsane-hp_rts88xx.la', needed by `all'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sane-backends-1.0.18-r2/work/sane-backends-1.0.18/backend' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 !!! ERROR: media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.18-r2 failed.

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # It does it with ALL versions that I have tried. Can someone tell me what the deal is on libsane-hp_rts88xx.la? Is a dependancy missing or something. Maybe someone with a working sane-backends can do a equery belongs libsane-hp_rts88xx.la for me. Any ideas?? Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
