You ever used esearch? If you `emerge esearch && eupdatedb` then `esearch -e pckagename` it will show all versions of the available ebuilds. Also, `esync` will update the tree and show the differences. Just thought I would butt in with that :-) (and it tests my mail is still working without sending a "Test" to the list) -- Tom Wesley
