He probably means all the elogs and ewarns in there - that ebuild is littered with the things. View the ebuild in less and search on "equire", you'll see what I mean. "!<sys-fs/udev-133" does indeed mean the ebuild requires udev that is not less than 133. or put another way, it wants udev version 133 or higher. -- Alan McKinnon [email protected]
