If you are using git sync, just go to /usr/portage/sci-misc/boinc and run `git log .` there. If you are using rsync sync, read end of the ChangeLog file, tail -n 50 should do the job. 'equery c boinc' should work too. Looks like your problem comes from broken rsync mirror with outdated ChangeLog files. Also take into account that ChangeLogs are now generated from git logs and this takes time, usually something about an hour (maybe half an hour, I'm not sure). Just tested on one of my systems using rsync, 'equery c boinc' works fine. Make sure your app-portage/gentoolkit is up to date. Best regards, Andrew Savchenko
