A quick look at the ati-driver ebuild shows it to uses the rpm, converting it to a targz first. If you set a PORTAGE_OVERLAY and copy the latest ebuild there renaming it to match the version you have found, portage should handle it seemlessly. Alternatively, wait a few hours (or pester someone on bugzilla, then wait a few hours) and it's a fair bet a new ebuild will be committed. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/8L6MInuLMrk7bIwRAvZ1AJ9vKcXwvqER8u+vZN8cASZ6aSvk9ACfQQjH /0yp+EMsBbvHk2rELsEeuZc= =CJJO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
