Basically it means that version 0.18 is not yet "stable" on gentoo - in other words the gentoo developer has not marked it as such, there is usually a period of 'settling down" before a new ebuild gets marked stable. to see all the versions available in portage try emerge eix update-eix eix mythtv (Ok there are other ways too, but eix is a great indexing tool for portage and you should have it anyway!) -- Nick Rout -- [email protected] mailing list
