It appears there are two other versions of the package, which shouldn't be pulling from git. If 1.17.0-r1 or 1.18.4 meet your needs, a downgrade is all you'll need. Check /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords and its manpage for more info.
If you need the live ebuild, Rasmus's suggestion will work fine. -- Daniel Campbell - Gentoo Developer OpenPGP Key: 0x1EA055D6 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net fpr: AE03 9064 AE00 053C 270C 1DE4 6F7A 9091 1EA0 55D6
