I think he's asking about the ebuild. The version he wants is not in portage. Joseph, If you have the package *already* installed and want to remerge it, there's a local copy of the ebuild in /var/db/pkg/<cat>/<pkg>-<version> copy it from there to your local overlay and remerge as normal. If you unmerged the package already, then the ebuild is gone. Maybe you have a backup. There's also an svn attic somewhere where everything that was ever in portage is stored. I don;t know where it is, but Google does. Search for it. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
