[gentoo-user] Portage & Software Versions

[Drew Tomlinson]

I'm a brand new Gentoo user.  This is my first Linux distro but I do 
have experience with FreeBSD so I'm not brand new to *nix.  :)

Anyway, how can I get newer versions of software from portage?  For 
example, I know the current version of MythTV is 0.18.  Yet 'emerge 
--search' shows me this:

*  media-tv/mythtv
     Latest version available: 0.16
     Latest version installed: 0.16
     Size of downloaded files: 13,181 kB
     Homepage:    http://www.mythtv.org/
     Description: Homebrew PVR project
     License:     GPL-2
Is the newer version available via portage?
Another example.  The newest Nvidia driver is 1.0-7174.  Yet portage 
shows this:

*  media-video/nvidia-kernel
     Latest version available: 1.0.6629-r4
     Latest version installed: 1.0.6629-r4
     Size of downloaded files: 16,116 kB
     Homepage:    http://www.nvidia.com/
     Description: Linux kernel module for the NVIDIA X11 driver
     License:     NVIDIA
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Drew
