Hi, I am trying to install two different versions of the same package. I think the SLOTS mechanism of portage can handle this, but I get the feeling that this feature is only exposed to developers, and not to a user. I tried following the advice given here:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Installing_Specific_Packages and this did not work. In the ebuild I was trying to install I changed the SLOTS value to a new number and then typed: ebuild foo.ebuild digest to remake the md5sums. This worked and the package was placed into a new slot, but I feel/hope there is an easier way to do this.
