While we are talking about portage; reciently I have needed to downgrade KDE.
I had KDE3.0.5a already installed as well as KDE3.1 - it would be nice to be able to specify a version for an upgrade or recompile just like you can with --clean. Therefore, emerge <=kde3.0 would find KDE3.0.5a and emerge that while leaving KDE3.1 alone. Currently if for example KDE3.0.5a was already installed you can do a: emerge -u kde-base/kde-3.0.5a.ebuild However, this will not recompile everything associated with KDE3.0.5a - all it will do is run this ebuild. What would be nice is an option that would run emerge and recompile everything even if it is already installed eg.. emerge -R --deep =kde-3.0.5a and it would run through the whole process of compiling everything again even if it is already installed.
