Hello there fellow gentoo-users, i'm fairly new to gentoo (just installed it last weekend) and have been fiddling with it and the emerge/portage system for some time now.
I have noticed that the "newest version available" is not always the newest version that actually is available. Waimea 0.4.0 for instance is available in the x11-wm/waimea directory, though if you go for the normal "emerge -u waiema" and you have version 0.3.3 installed it will tell you that there is nothing to update... this also applies to other applications, how come though? this can be rather frustrating at some points, especially if i prefer the 0.4.0 version over the 0.3.3 version (as an example). so i just decided to ebuild it. though, now every time i do an emerge -up world it will of course check the /var/cache/edb/world, see the "x11-wm/waimea" entry, and check to see if there is an update for it, and strangely enough it will tell me: > These are the packages that I would merge, in order: > > Calculating dependencies ...done! > [ebuild UD] x11-wm/waimea-0.3.3 [0.4.0] any ideas why this is so (as mentioned beforehand this of course also applies to other applications - ie. xchat) regards, Brian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
