Hello,
Can I emerge two versions of the same software? How do I do that?
For example, I want to emerge two versions of games-simulation/flightgear-0.9.6.f
I think u mean to versions like 0.9.6. and 0.9.5. which are not "slotted". IMO u can't do it portage "clear" (let me know if so), but u can use this (common/simple) trick:
emerge old_version and move all files to dir "old_version"
emerge new_version and move all files to dir "new_version"
Prepare script, which will "switch" versions, by making symlinks
for every file from it's new place to original one (where installed) depending on needed version.
It shouldn't do troubles to portage, if correctly done.
